Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz, providing 20 cores per socket. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, reaching the maximum supported capacity. A PERC H730 SAS RAID controller manages up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays.
Suited for high-capacity storage clusters
This configuration suits organisations building high-capacity storage clusters, software-defined storage nodes, or dense virtualisation hosts that benefit from the 24-bay chassis and large memory footprint. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or larger 3.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms. The integrated graphics and lack of installed drives mean additional components are required for visual output or immediate storage deployment.
24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis defines storage density
The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller. This combination determines the maximum number of drives, the supported SAS interface, and the overall storage density available in the 2U form factor. Confirm that your workload matches this bay count and drive interface before purchase.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply my own 2.5-inch SAS drives to fill the 24 front bays?
Yes, the chassis provides 24 SFF bays and the PERC H730 controller manages SAS drives; no drives are installed from the factory.
Will the PERC H730 RAID controller work with the 10 GbE and 1 GbE network ports on the installed Intel I350/X540 card?
The PERC H730 handles internal SAS storage only; the Intel I350/X540 card provides two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports independently of the RAID controller.
How can I confirm the 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory is recognised and healthy after first boot?
Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will show all 768 GB detected and report ECC status without errors.
