DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2x Xeon E5-2698v3 512GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SATA drives. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high drive-count density and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor, such as software-defined storage clusters or backup repositories. The dual 16-core CPUs and 512GB RAM handle heavy virtualization or database caching. Buyers who need more than 768GB maximum memory, PCIe storage interfaces, or GPU compute capacity should evaluate alternative platforms.

24 x 2.5-inch SATA drive bays

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller, which determines how many drives you can install and what RAID levels are available. Memory can grow to 768GB across 24 DIMM slots, and the system includes dual 1100W power supplies. Confirm that your workload fits the SATA interface and 2.5-inch form factor before ordering.
