24-Bay 2U Server for Storage-Heavy Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. It runs two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.4 GHz and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and dual 750 W platinum power supplies.

Suited for Dense Local Storage and Virtualisation

This configuration fits environments that need high drive counts in a compact rack footprint, such as database nodes, virtual desktop infrastructure, or software-defined storage clusters. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache. Buyers who require solid-state media, more than 24 bays, or a GPU-optimised chassis should evaluate other platforms.

24 SAS Drives at 300 GB Each

The server ships with twenty-four enterprise 300 GB 10K SAS hard drives connected via a 12 Gb/s backplane. This drive count and capacity combination determines the raw storage available before RAID overhead and is the primary factor when sizing the node for a given dataset.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 300 GB SAS drives into the front bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5" drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then configure RAID on the PERC H730 controller before the OS sees the volumes.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The 10 K SAS drives and the PERC H730 battery-backed cache are the primary wear items; the 750 W platinum PSUs are hot-swappable for easy replacement.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both 14-core Xeons run at 3.3 GHz turbo continuously?

The 750 W redundant power supplies set the ceiling; sustained turbo on both CPUs can hit that limit before the 2U cooling reaches its maximum.
