Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 12-core processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suits storage-heavy virtualisation and databases

This configuration fits midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS and SATA drives through the H730 controller with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need more storage bays or a different drive form factor should look at other chassis designs. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or specialised compute cards must verify PCIe slot availability separately.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front drive bay layout paired with the PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. This combination determines how many drives can be installed and which RAID modes are available for local storage. The installed pair of 300 GB 10K SAS drives demonstrates the drive interface and form factor the chassis accepts. Memory capacity maxes at 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots for workloads that scale beyond the included 768 GB.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R730xd provide for storage expansion?

The chassis holds 24 bays for 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, and the installed H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

What is the maximum power draw of the two 750 W platinum power supplies when the server runs continuously?

Each supply is rated at 750 watts platinum efficiency; the redundant pair shares the load so the system can draw up to 750 watts total under full utilisation.

Which memory specification must the buyer already have to add more RAM to the 24 slots?

The board uses DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules; the 24 slots currently hold 768 GB and can reach 1.5 TB total.
