Dense 24-bay 2U server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon E5-2667 v4 processors run at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each and 25 MB cache. Installed memory totals 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs, well below the 768 GB maximum. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA drives.
Buyers needing maximum local spindle count
This configuration suits workloads that demand high drive density in a compact rack footprint such as software-defined storage, backup targets or dense virtualisation clusters. Integrated graphics and dual 1100 W power supplies cover basic video and redundant power. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, discrete GPU compute or Fibre Channel connectivity should evaluate alternative platforms.
PERC H730 SAS RAID controller
The single specification that decides fit is the Dell PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. It provides hardware RAID for the twenty-four SATA bays and determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported. Confirm that the controller feature set matches your storage topology before ordering.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the R730xd get when both Xeon E5-2667 v4 CPUs run at 3.2 GHz all day?
The system ships with dual 1100 W power supplies and is designed for continuous operation in a rack environment; actual acoustic and thermal output depends on the installed drive count and ambient airflow.
Which components must I already have for the 24 SFF bays and PERC H730 controller to be usable?
You need 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives and a rack with standard mounting rails; the chassis accepts up to 24 drives and the H730 manages them through the backplane.
Will my existing DDR4 ECC registered modules work alongside the 512 GB already installed?
Yes — the board supports DDR4 ECC registered memory up to 768 GB total, so additional modules of the same type can fill the remaining slots.
