Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SATA drives. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.
Suited for dense storage workloads
This configuration targets environments that 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 16-core CPUs and 512GB RAM handle heavy virtualization or database caching. Buyers who need more than 768GB maximum memory, PCIe storage interfaces, or GPU compute capacity should evaluate alternative platforms.
24 x 2.5-inch SATA drive bays
The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller, which determines how many drives you can install and what RAID levels are available. Memory can grow to 768GB across 24 DIMM slots, and the system includes dual 1100W power supplies. Confirm that your workload fits the SATA interface and 2.5-inch form factor before ordering.

Questions about this item
How do I install the server in a rack, and what step is commonly missed?
Mount the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis using the optional rail kit, then connect both 1100 W power supplies; the step often missed is seating the PERC H730 SAS controller cables before powering on.
Which components will need replacement or maintenance during the server's life?
The two 1100 W power supplies, system fans, and any SATA drives you add are the field-replaceable units; DDR4 ECC memory and the Xeon E5-2698 v3 CPUs are socketed but rarely swapped.
What limit appears first when the server runs sustained heavy workloads?
The 24 x 2.5" drive-bay ceiling and the 768 GB DDR4 memory ceiling are the hard physical caps; thermal headroom of the dual 2.3 GHz 16-core CPUs and dual 1100 W PSUs typically outlasts those limits.
