Purpose-built 24-bay storage server

The PowerEdge R730xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drives in a 2U rack chassis, making it a dense platform for storage-heavy workloads such as software-defined storage, backup targets or media archives. Dual Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors supply twenty cores at 2.2 GHz, while 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provides a large working set for database or virtualisation tasks.

Memory headroom and drive capacity

Installed memory reaches 256 GB across DDR4 slots, with the platform supporting up to 768 GB when additional modules are added. The PERC H730 SAS RAID controller manages up to twenty-four SAS drives, delivering hardware RAID levels and cache-assisted write performance; storage capacity scales with the drives you populate, and the controller becomes the bottleneck once its cache and PCIe bandwidth are saturated.

Rack-ready construction and connectivity

The server measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, with dual 1100 W power supplies providing redundancy in a standard rack environment. An Intel I350/X540 network card adds two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports for flexible uplinks, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management; rail kits are available separately for simplified installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 drive bays in this 2.5" chassis accept my existing SAS drives?

The chassis provides 24 bays for 2.5" SAS drives and the PERC H730 controller manages them; insert your drives and the controller will recognise them.

How do I confirm both Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors and the 256 GB DDR4 are detected after installation?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface, run the system diagnostics, and verify the BIOS POST screen shows two CPUs and 256 GB of memory.

The listing says no drives are installed; does the box include drive caddies, rails, or anything else I must order separately?

The unit ships with 2×1100 W power supplies, the PERC H730 RAID controller, an Intel 2×10 GbE + 2×1 GbE network card, and iDRAC8 Enterprise; drive caddies and rail kits are not included.
