2U rack server with 24 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for storage-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, 16GB of DDR4 memory and three 900GB 10K SAS drives. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drives and includes a DVD-ROM drive.

Storage-focused teams needing density

This configuration suits organisations that require high drive-count density in a 2U form factor with hardware RAID. Buyers who need solid-state storage installed, larger memory capacity out of the box, or integrated 10-gigabit networking should look at alternative configurations.

24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane that accepts SAS or SATA drives. This capacity determines whether the server can meet your storage density requirements before adding expansion enclosures.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, 16GB DDR4, three 900GB 10K SAS drives on the H730 controller, dual 750W redundant supplies, a DVD drive and a 4-port 1GbE daughter card. Operating system, additional drives, memory modules, PCIe cards and upgraded iDRAC licences are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this system?

The board has 24 DDR4 slots supporting 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB modules up to 2400MT/s. Installed memory is 16GB and the chipset maximum is 1536GB; populate in multiples of 12 per processor for best performance.

What does the H730 12Gbps RAID controller deliver in practice?

The H730 provides 1GB cache and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across up to 24 2.5" SAS or SATA bays, enabling 52TB raw capacity with hardware acceleration for parity-based arrays.
