Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis, delivering high capacity in a compact footprint. Dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors provide 20 physical cores and 40 threads at 2.3 GHz, while 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 RAID controller with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 handle demanding storage workloads. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete a platform built for density and uptime.

Suits dense storage, not heavy compute

This chassis targets environments that prioritise drive count over expansion slots, such as backup targets, software-defined storage nodes or media archives. The six PCIe 3.0 slots and single Matrox G200 video output limit GPU acceleration and high-speed networking add-ons. Buyers needing more than 32 GB of memory from day one, 10 GbE ports out of the box, or a larger PCIe budget for accelerators should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane, which caps raw capacity at 52 TB with current drives and dictates SAS or SATA media only. Every other specification — CPU, memory ceiling, RAID levels, power redundancy — scales around that storage density. If the deployment does not require 24 front-accessible bays in 2U, a different form factor will use rack space more efficiently.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 DIMM capacities and speeds does the R730XD support across its 24 slots?

The 24 DDR4 slots accept 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB modules running up to 2400MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed Xeon processors.

Can I keep using my existing 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drives in the 24 hot-plug bays with the H330 controller?

Yes, the 24 hot-plug bays accept both 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drives and the H330 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across them.

How do I verify the iDRAC8 remote management and dual 750W power supplies are operating correctly after racking the server?

Log into the iDRAC8 web interface to confirm firmware version, sensor readings and power supply redundancy status; both 750W units should show green LEDs and report healthy in the lifecycle controller.
