DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v3 2.5GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4

Dense 2U rack server for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with twelve cores each. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across four slots. The system includes a PERC H730 storage controller, twenty-four 2.5-inch drive trays, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management, dual 750 watt platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel.

Suited for storage-heavy applications

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The twenty-four front-accessible trays support SAS and SATA drives under hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require more than twenty-four drive bays or a different rack height must look beyond this form factor.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays define

The single specification that decides fit is the drive bay count: exactly twenty-four hot-swap 2.5-inch trays wired to the H730 controller. No drives are included, so capacity and performance scale with the SAS or SATA disks you populate. The installed 64 GB DDR4 occupies four of twenty-four memory slots, leaving headroom up to the 1.5 TB maximum if the workload demands more memory.
