High-Density 24-Bay Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 small-form-factor drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors deliver 32 cores at 2.3 GHz, backed by 768 GB of DDR4 memory. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage, while iDRAC8 Enterprise handles remote management. The system ships without drives, ready for custom storage configurations.
Ideal for Storage-Heavy Workloads
This server suits organisations that need maximum internal drive density for large datasets, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters. The high core count and memory capacity also support virtualisation hosts running many concurrent virtual machines. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, faster networking than the installed 10 GbE ports or a smaller physical footprint should evaluate other platforms.
24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Decides Fit
The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis, which determines whether the server fits your rack space and storage-scaling plan. If your deployment requires fewer bays, 3.5-inch drives or a different rack-unit height, this model will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item
When will the 768GB DDR4 memory need to be replaced?
The installed 768GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory is already at the maximum capacity of 768GB, so no further upgrades are possible; replacement would only be required if a module fails.
What limits sustained performance of the 2x Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors first?
With 16 cores per processor running at 2.3GHz and a 40MB cache each, thermal throttling under continuous full-load is the first limit encountered.
How much heat and power do the 2x 1100W power supplies produce all day?
Dual 1100W supplies provide redundant power for the 24-bay chassis and CPUs; typical draw depends on installed drives, but the units are sized for continuous operation with integrated cooling.
