Server built for dense storage workloads
This Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor bays in a 2U rack frame. Two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors run at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.
Suits storage-heavy clusters needing maximum drive
Buyers who want a deep bay count for local disks will use the 24 bays and H730 RAID. Teams needing GPU acceleration or single-thread speed should look elsewhere because the CPUs prioritise core count over frequency and the chassis has no GPU slots.
24 drive bays decide the fit
The 2.5-inch bay count is the single constraint that determines whether this chassis matches your storage design. If your plan needs fewer bays or a different form factor, another platform will fit better.

Questions about this item
What chassis and drive-bay count must the rack already support for this 24 SFF server?
The unit fits a standard 2 U rack space and needs a chassis with 24 front-accessible 2.5 inch bays.
Will my existing SATA SSDs and SAS HDDs work with the installed PERC H730 controller?
Yes, the H730 handles both SATA and SAS drives in the same backplane, so older 2.5 inch media can be reused.
How do I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?
Open the iDRAC8 web interface or press F2 at POST; the System page shows two 16-core processors at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB registered ECC memory.
