24-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server system equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs populate the front drive bays.

Suited for storage-dense workloads

This configuration serves midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis maximises internal flash capacity while the quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory or more than two processors should evaluate other platforms.

Dual 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4

The pair of 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs defines the compute ceiling for this server. With 28 total cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo boost, they determine whether the system can handle the intended virtualisation density, database concurrency or HPC thread count. All other specifications scale around this processor choice.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" drive bays accept my existing SATA SSDs?

The chassis provides 24 bays for 2.5" SATA drives and the PERC H730 controller supports SATA SSDs, so your existing 2.5" SATA SSDs will fit and be recognised.

How do I confirm the PERC H730 sees all 24 installed 400GB SSDs?

Open the PERC H730 BIOS utility or iDRAC8 Enterprise storage view; both will list each of the 24 400GB SATA SSDs and show the RAID configuration status.

Are SFP+ transceivers included for the 10 GbE ports on the X520/I350 card?

The server ships with the X520/I350 quad-port daughter card installed, but SFP+ transceivers for the two 10 GbE ports are not included and must be purchased separately.
