Dense 24-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors provide twenty-eight cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs, quad-port networking and redundant 750 W power supplies complete the configuration.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This platform fits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes or high-performance computing storage tiers that benefit from high drive density in 2U. The installed memory ceiling of 1.5 TB across twenty-four slots allows further expansion. Buyers who require more than two processors, a 1U form factor or drive bays beyond the twenty-four provided should consider alternative chassis.

The twenty-four bay 2.5-inch chassis

The defining constraint is the front bay count: twenty-four 2.5-inch slots in a 2U rack height. This fixes the maximum raw storage capacity and the physical footprint for the deployment. Verify that the rack space, drive count and SAS/SATA interface match the intended workload before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch SSDs into the 24-bay front chassis, and which step do people often miss?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier clicks, then verify the PERC H730 controller detects both 400GB SSDs in the BIOS before creating a RAID volume.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller battery need over time?

The 1GB cache battery on the H730 should be replaced every three to five years to keep write-back caching protected during power loss.

At what point does the 750-watt platinum power supply become the limiting factor under sustained load?

With dual 750W units the system draws up to 750W total; sustained workloads that exceed that envelope will trigger throttling or shutdown.
