2U Server with Dual Xeon and 256GB DDR4

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz, six cores each, and 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch trays for SAS or SATA drives, and a PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a battery-backed cache. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, ready rails and a front bezel complete the package.

Suits storage-heavy clusters; not for GPU compute

The 24-bay 2.5-inch layout makes this system a natural fit for software-defined storage, backup targets, database nodes and virtual desktop infrastructure where capacity and drive count matter more than raw single-thread speed. Organisations that need hardware-accelerated graphics, AI inference or high-frequency trading will find no PCIe GPU clearance or accelerator support in this configuration and should look at purpose-built compute platforms instead.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this server matches a requirement is the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive tray count. If the deployment needs that many hot-swap bays in 2U, the R730xd delivers; if the design calls for fewer bays, larger 3.5-inch drives or a different form factor, another platform is required.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives slide straight into the 24 front trays?

Yes, the server includes 24 Dell 2.5-inch trays that accept both SAS and SATA drives, so your current drives will fit without an adapter.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller and the X520/I350 network card are active after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface; the storage tab shows the H730 with its 1 GB cache and the network tab lists two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports from the daughter card.

Which parts ship inside the box and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis comes with two Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs, eight 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz ECC modules, the H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum PSUs, bezel and rails; drives are not included.
