Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processor running at 2.4GHz with 14 cores and 35MB cache. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller inside a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. The unit includes dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management.
Storage-dense compute platform
This configuration suits buyers who need high drive-count density for software-defined storage, backup targets, or virtualisation clusters using SAS drives. It is not for buyers who require a fully populated dual-processor layout, discrete GPU acceleration, or a backplane that accepts only solid-state modules without SAS connectivity.
24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis
The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller, which determines the storage protocol and maximum drive count. Memory can scale to 768GB and a second processor can be added, but the bay count and SAS interface are fixed by the chassis design.

Questions about this item
How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R730xd chassis support?
The chassis supports up to 24 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS storage devices.
What is the noise and heat output with dual 1100W power supplies running continuously?
Dual 1100W power supplies provide redundant cooling; fan speed scales with CPU and drive load to manage heat and noise.
Which DDR4 memory specification is required to expand beyond the installed 256GB?
DDR4 ECC Registered modules are required to reach the maximum 768GB capacity.
