Dense 24-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.40 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills sixteen slots. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits storage-heavy virtualisation

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, VDI or HPC data nodes that benefit from high drive density and large memory capacity. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports plus iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management simplify deployment. Buyers who need more than two processors or memory beyond 1.5 TB should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis dictates storage scale

The defining specification is the twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U form factor, which sets the maximum number of SATA or SAS devices the system can hold internally. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed; the remaining bays accept additional SATA SSDs or SAS drives supported by the H730 controller.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5" configuration or a different bay count for the R730xd?

The R730xd in this listing is the 24-bay 2.5" version, which matches the installed 2 x 800GB SATA SSDs and the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

What does the 2.4GHz base clock with 3.3GHz turbo mean for real workloads on the dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPUs?

Each of the two 14-core processors runs at 2.4GHz base and can boost to 3.3GHz under load, giving 28 total cores for virtualization, databases or HPC tasks.

How does the 12Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730 controller limit drive performance in practice?

The H730 1GB controller handles 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA, so the installed 800GB SATA SSDs run at their full 6Gb/s link speed while leaving headroom for future SAS drives.
