24-Bay 2U Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each with 10 cores running at 2.6 GHz and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and includes a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays provide high storage density in a compact form factor.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or data-warehouse workloads that benefit from many drive bays and dual-socket compute. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap redundancy support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

24 Drive Trays Define the Storage Ceiling

The single specification that determines fit is the count of 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays: twenty-four bays with no drives included. Capacity and performance scale directly with the drives you populate, so the chassis itself sets the upper limit for local storage. Match your workload’s spindle or SSD count to this bay total before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730 RAID controller is initialised and the 24 drive bays are recognised after first boot?

Open the PERC H730 BIOS utility during POST or log into iDRAC8 Enterprise and verify the controller shows all 24 SAS/SATA bays with the correct RAID level.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately for this R730xd?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory, PERC H730 controller, 24 empty 2.5" drive trays, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails. Drives and OS are not included.

Should I choose the 128 GB configuration or plan to expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum?

Start with the installed 128 GB (8×16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz) if current workloads fit; the 24 DIMM slots allow later expansion up to 1.5 TB without replacing modules.
