24-bay 2U rack server for dense storage workloads

This 2U rack server delivers 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays in a compact chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors provide 28 total cores at 2.0GHz with 3.0GHz turbo. The 256GB DDR4 ECC memory supports virtualization and database tasks. It is built for organizations that need high local capacity in minimal rack space.

SATA SSD limits and 12Gb/s controller throughput

The 24 installed 800GB drives use the SATA 6Gb/s interface, capping sequential throughput at the SATA link speed. The PERC H730 controller operates on a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA bus, so the drives cannot saturate the controller bandwidth. RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through modes are available, but write-heavy workloads will hit the SATA device ceiling before the controller limit.

24x 800GB SATA SSD capacity fixed at purchase

The server ships with 24 populated bays, leaving no empty slots for expansion without removing existing drives. Total raw capacity is fixed at the installed 800GB per drive. Buyers who need more storage must replace drives with larger models or add external enclosures. The 24 DIMM slots and dual-socket maximum are also fully populated, so memory and CPU growth require module or processor replacement.

Questions about this item

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

This unit is the 24-bay 2.5" model; it ships with 24 x 800GB SATA SSDs already installed, filling every bay.

What does the dual 14-core Xeon setup deliver for virtualisation workloads?

Two E5-2683 v3 CPUs give 28 cores at 2.0 GHz base with 3.0 GHz turbo, supporting heavy VM density on the C610 chipset.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit the 800GB SATA SSDs in practice?

The H730 runs at 12Gb/s SAS/SATA with 1GB cache and battery backup, so the 6Gb/s SSDs operate at their native SATA speed under RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.
