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 E5-2697 v4 processors deliver eighteen cores each at 2.3 GHz with 45 MB cache. Two hundred fifty-six gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller support databases, virtualisation and high-capacity file serving.
Check rack depth, power and drive supply
The chassis measures thirty-six inches deep so confirm cabinet clearance before ordering. Two 1100 W supplies require matching PDU capacity and appropriate IEC cords. No drives are installed; source SATA or SAS disks separately and verify they are 2.5-inch form factor for the twenty-four hot-plug bays.
Adds compute density while leaving PCIe room
Dual CPUs and 768 GB maximum memory leave headroom for future RAM expansion. Integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management without a dedicated KVM. The PERC H730 handles RAID across all bays, freeing PCIe slots for additional network or accelerator cards if the workload demands them.

Questions about this item
Does the R730xd arrive with any drives or do I need to purchase them separately?
The server ships with no drives installed; the 24 x 2.5" bays are empty and the PERC H730 controller is ready for SATA or SAS drives you add yourself.
Which memory capacity should I select if the chassis supports up to 768 GB DDR4?
The unit already includes 256 GB DDR4 ECC Registered; you can expand later to the 768 GB maximum using compatible DDR4 modules.
What does the dual Xeon E5-2697 v4 at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores each deliver in this 2U rack server?
Two 18-core processors give 36 total cores at 2.3 GHz with 45 MB cache per CPU, supported by 256 GB DDR4 and PERC H730 RAID for heavy multi-threaded workloads.
