Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system built for dense local storage. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory provide a balanced platform for database, virtualization or backup workloads. Three 300 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache deliver hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 out of the box. Redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies and 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays complete the package.

Buyers needing high core counts

This configuration suits teams that prioritize drive count and RAID flexibility over raw compute density. The two-socket limit and 64 GB installed ceiling (max 1 536 GB across 24 DIMM slots) mean heavy in-memory analytics or heavy virtualization stacks will need a different chassis. It is not for buyers who want GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or 10 GbE networking without adding an optional daughter card.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The defining spec is the 24-bay hot-plug backplane that accepts both SAS and SATA drives up to a combined 52 TB raw capacity. This density in a 2U form factor determines whether the server fits a storage-first deployment or a compute-first one.
