Purpose-built density server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 small-form-factor drive bays into a 2U rack chassis, giving storage-heavy workloads room to grow without sprawling across extra rack units. Dual Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.3GHz, while 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provides a large buffer for virtualisation or database caches.

Upgrade path from smaller bays

Moving from a 12-bay or 8-bay 2U server means you can consolidate multiple arrays into one box, reducing cabling, power draws and licence counts. The PERC H730 SAS controller supports RAID across all 24 bays, so the jump pays off when you need more spindles or SSDs behind a single controller rather than adding a second server.

Fits dense storage clusters, not GPU farms

This chassis suits builders who need maximum 2.5-inch drive density and dual 10GbE plus dual 1GbE networking in a 36-inch deep rack. Buyers who want more storage than 24 bays allow, or who require PCIe accelerator cards that exceed the available slots, should look at a larger platform.

Questions about this item

What rack depth is required for the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis?

The unit measures 36 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least that much usable depth plus cable clearance.

How are the two Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors and 256GB DDR4 installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs and all memory modules are factory-installed; the common oversight is forgetting to attach the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence before first boot.

Which components will need replacement first in the 24-bay SAS storage array?

The 2.5-inch SAS drives you add and the two 1100W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable items.
