Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF Server
This Dell PowerEdge R730xd server system fits a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships without drives and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller, dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management. The platform supports up to 768GB total memory across the installed DIMM slots.
Storage-dense compute for virtualization
This configuration suits environments that need many drive bays behind a hardware RAID controller, such as virtualisation hosts, software-defined storage nodes or backup targets. Buyers who need more memory than 768GB or who require a different backplane protocol must choose a different chassis. It is not intended for workloads that demand GPU acceleration beyond the integrated graphics.
24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730
The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 SAS controller, which defines the drive count, form factor and RAID capability available at deployment. The server includes dual 10GbE and dual 1GbE network interfaces for high-throughput connectivity. Memory can be expanded to 768GB using DDR4 modules.

Questions about this item
What SAS controller and drive interface limit the throughput on the 24-bay PERC H730?
The PERC H730 SAS controller manages the 24 drive bays, and the installed drives use the SATA interface, so each bay is capped at SATA speeds.
What rack depth and rail kit are required to mount the 36-inch deep chassis?
The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so a four-post rack with at least 36 inches of clear depth is needed; a rail kit is available on request.
How are the 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered modules installed, and what slot rule is often missed?
The 384 GB is installed as DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs across the 24 slots, and the rule often missed is to populate the slots for each processor evenly to keep memory channels balanced.
