Dense 24-bay rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays in a 2U chassis, giving storage-heavy workloads a compact platform. Dual Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors supply 36 cores at 2.3 GHz, while 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large in-memory datasets. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across the installed SATA interface. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise handle remote administration without a dedicated GPU.
Storage-focused compute node
This configuration suits buyers who need maximum drive density for software-defined storage, backup targets or video surveillance archives. The 384 GB memory ceiling and dual-socket design also serve virtualisation hosts running many memory-hungry guests. Buyers who want more storage capacity than 24 bays provide should look at a larger chassis or external JBOD. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration or PCIe 4.0 throughput will not find those features here.
24 x 2.5-inch drive bays
The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis, which dictates how many SAS or SATA drives can be installed internally. All other capabilities — CPU cores, memory slots, controller RAID levels — scale around that physical limit. Verify the bay count matches your capacity plan before ordering.

Questions about this item
How much power do the dual 1100 W supplies draw when both Xeon E5-2697 v4 CPUs run at full load all day?
Each processor has an 18‑core design with 45 MB cache at 2.3 GHz, so sustained load will approach the 1100 W rating of each supply; the second unit provides redundancy if one fails.
Which drive caddies and backplane cables must I already have to populate the 24 SFF bays?
The chassis accepts 24 x 2.5" SATA drives and uses the PERC H730 SAS controller, so you need 2.5" Dell drive carriers and the matching SAS backplane cables for each bay.
Can the integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise share the same network ports as the Intel I350/X540 10 GbE and 1 GbE adapters?
iDRAC8 Enterprise uses a dedicated management port, while the Intel I350/X540 card provides two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE data ports, keeping management traffic separate from production traffic.
