24-bay 2U server for dense storage workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2680v4 processors deliver fourteen cores each at 2.4 GHz with 35 MB cache. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed, reaching the platform maximum.
Storage ceiling set by 12 Gb/s SAS controller
The PERC H730 RAID controller connects to the backplane at 12 Gb/s SAS, limiting each bay to that link speed. Drives negotiate down to SATA 6 Gb/s where fitted, so the interface caps sustained throughput regardless of media choice. Network connectivity provides two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports.
Right part only if 768 GB DDR4 is the final memory
Memory slots are fully populated at 768 GB, leaving no room for expansion. Buyers who need more capacity must choose a different platform. The integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management serve headless operation without a discrete GPU.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5 inch chassis or a smaller drive count?
The 24-bay 2.5 inch chassis gives the highest local storage density in a 2U rack server, ideal when you need many SAS or SATA drives behind a PERC H730 controller.
What does the 2.4 GHz Xeon E5-2680v4 with 14 cores and 35 MB cache deliver in a live workload?
Each processor runs at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores and 35 MB cache, providing strong multi-thread throughput for virtualization, databases and compute clusters.
How does the PERC H730 SAS controller and SATA interface limit real-world drive performance?
The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA drives; maximum throughput is bounded by the SATA link speed and the controller's 12 Gb/s SAS lanes.
