2U 24-Bay SAS Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 32 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies sixteen of twenty-four slots. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the 24 × 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

Suited for Dense Capacity Workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that prioritise raw capacity over flash latency. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC8 Enterprise provides full remote management. Buyers who need all-flash performance or GPU compute density should look elsewhere, as the chassis is populated with spinning SAS drives and the controller does not expose PCIe lanes for add-in accelerators.

512 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC DIMMs installed across sixteen slots, leaving eight slots open for expansion toward the 1.5 TB maximum. Memory type and speed are fixed to DDR4; other generations will not fit. Verify that your workload fits within this capacity before ordering, as the board only accepts DDR4 registered ECC modules.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a single-processor or dual-processor version of this R730xd?

This unit already has both sockets populated with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, so there is no single-processor option to select.

What does the 2.1GHz base clock mean for actual workload performance?

Each of the 32 total cores runs at 2.1GHz base and can boost to 3.0GHz under load, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization or database tasks.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit the 24-bay SAS backplane?

The H730 supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so the 24 installed 2.4TB 10K drives operate at full interface speed.
