Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6GHz. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, reaching the platform maximum capacity. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays using SATA or SAS interfaces. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the base configuration.
Ideal for dense storage workloads
This configuration suits buyers who need high drive-count density and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor, such as software-defined storage clusters or backup repositories. The dual 14-core CPUs provide strong multi-thread throughput for parallel tasks. Buyers who require a smaller chassis, fewer drive bays, or lower memory capacity should consider other models. The system arrives without drives installed, so storage media must be sourced separately.
Maximum memory fixed at 768GB DDR4
The installed 768GB matches the maximum supported capacity, so no further memory expansion is possible. Buyers anticipating future RAM growth must evaluate whether this ceiling meets the application lifecycle.

Questions about this item
How much power do the two 1100W supplies draw when the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs run at 2.6GHz all day?
Each 1100W supply delivers up to 1100 watts; the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors at 2.6GHz share that budget with 768GB DDR4 and the PERC H730 controller, so sustained draw depends on workload but stays within the redundant 1100W capacity.
Which drive caddies and backplane cables must I already have to populate the 24 SFF bays with SATA drives?
The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis uses Dell SFF caddies and a SAS backplane wired to the PERC H730; you need matching caddies and the backplane cable kit for SATA drives to connect.
Will the PERC H730 RAID controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise work with my existing 12Gb SAS shelves and older 6Gb SATA arrays?
The PERC H730 supports 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA simultaneously, and iDRAC8 Enterprise manages both generations through the same interface.
