Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built for capacity-heavy workloads. It carries two Xeon E5-2680 v3 12-core processors at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules, and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache driving 24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum supplies, quad-port 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ networking, iDRAC8 Enterprise, rails and bezel complete the package.

Ideal for Virtualisation and Data Nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or HPC data nodes that benefit from high core counts and large flash pools in a compact chassis. The 24-bay front panel and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 support simplify local redundancy. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of RAM, more than two sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SATA Chassis

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch backplane wired for SATA and SAS through the H730 controller. It accepts only 2.5-inch drives and tops out at 24 devices, so capacity planning must fit within those physical and protocol limits.
