Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF server
This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors running at 1.9 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage, and iDRAC8 Enterprise provides remote management. No drives are installed.
Suits dense storage workloads, not GPU compute
The 24 drive bays support SATA or SAS drives for high-capacity arrays, making it a fit for backup targets or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere, as the server only includes integrated graphics. The two-socket limit also caps vertical scaling for heavily threaded applications.
24-bay 2.5-inch chassis decides fit
The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch form factor, which sets the maximum raw storage density this server can deliver. If your rack design or drive-count requirement cannot use that bay count, a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item
How much power do the dual 1100W supplies draw when the server runs 24/7?
Each supply is rated at 1100W; actual draw depends on the drives and workload you install.
Which drive caddies and rails must I already have to populate the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis?
The 24 SFF bays accept standard Dell 2.5-inch caddies; a rail kit is available on request if your rack needs one.
Can the PERC H730 controller manage a mix of new SAS drives and older SATA disks I keep from another system?
Yes, the H730 supports both SAS and SATA devices on the same backplane.
