Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2698 v3 processor running at 2.3 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays, though no drives are installed. Remote management is provided by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Ideal for dense storage workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high drive-count density for software-defined storage, backup targets or archival workloads in a 2U form factor. The single 16-core CPU and 256 GB RAM ceiling of 768 GB fit virtualisation hosts that prioritise capacity over maximum compute threads. Buyers who need dual-processor performance from day one or who require installed drives should look at other configurations.

24 x 2.5-inch SAS drive bays

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 SAS controller, which determines how many drives you can add and what RAID levels are possible. Memory uses DDR4 technology and can be expanded to 768 GB across the available slots. The server includes dual 1100 W power supplies and an Intel I350/X540 network card providing two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports.

Questions about this item

Will the single Xeon E5-2698 v3 limit performance before I add a second processor?

The server supports up to two processors; installing a second matching Xeon E5-2698 v3 will double core count and memory channels.

What is the maximum memory capacity and type supported by this R730xd?

The system supports up to 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots.

How much power do the dual 1100 W supplies draw under sustained load?

Two 1100 W redundant power supplies provide headroom for 24 drives, 256 GB RAM and a 16-core Xeon during continuous operation.
