DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v3 2.5GHz 12-core 768GB DDR4 24x 400GB SSD

2U rack server with 24-bay SSD storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a Dell PERC H730 controller driving 24 installed 400 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, and quad-port networking complete the package.

Suited for dense storage workloads.

This configuration fits midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 support make it a strong fit for storage-heavy applications. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24 x 400 GB SATA SSDs define the storage foundation

The single specification that decides fit is the 24 installed 400 GB SATA solid-state drives backed by the PERC H730 1 GB controller. This combination delivers the capacity, bay count, and RAID flexibility required for the workloads listed above. If the application demands a different drive protocol, higher per-drive capacity, or fewer bays, this server will not match the requirement.
