Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills 16 of the 24 available slots. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the SAS backplane.

Suited For Capacity-First Workloads

This configuration targets teams that need high spindle count and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. Virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes and data-warehouse staging benefit from the 24-drive density and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking. Buyers who need PCIe flash tiers, GPU compute density or single-thread frequency above 3.3 GHz should evaluate other platforms. The LGA 2011-3 socket and C610 chipset limit future processor upgrades to the same generation.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 controller. It determines how many drives you can install, which RAID levels are hardware-accelerated and whether your existing SAS drives will connect without adapters. Verify that your workload fits within this drive-count and controller feature set before committing.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is managing the 24 SAS drives correctly after setup?

During POST the controller BIOS lists all 24 drives and shows the configured RAID level; iDRAC8 Enterprise then reports each drive as "Online" with green status LEDs on the front panel.

What ships with the server and which items must be sourced separately?

The unit includes two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, 512 GB DDR4 in 16 DIMMs, 24 x 1.2 TB SAS drives, H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails; SFP+ transceivers and an operating system are not included.

Which memory capacity matches the 24-slot limit and the installed 512 GB configuration?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots; the current 512 GB uses 16 x 32 GB modules leaving 8 slots free, and the platform maximum is 1.5 TB.
