  • Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the 2U chassis running

Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors and 32 GB of DDR4 into a 2U rack chassis with 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays. Three 900 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Buyers Needing Mass Drive Density

This server targets environments that prioritise internal capacity over raw compute, such as backup repositories, software-defined storage nodes or archival workloads. The 24-bay layout and SAS/SATA flexibility suit those use cases. Builders who require more than two processors, PCIe 4.0 links or GPU-ready power budgets should evaluate alternative platforms.

24 Hot-Plug 2.5-Inch Bays

The defining constraint is the front-loading bay count: twenty-four 2.5-inch slots share the 2U height, limiting each drive to 15 mm thickness and capping total raw SAS capacity at 52 TB. If the workload demands more spindles or 3.5-inch form factors, a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item

How much RAM can the 24 DIMM slots actually hold with these E5-2630 v3 CPUs?

The installed CPUs limit total memory to 32GB despite the 24 slots supporting up to 1536GB with other processors.

What is the sustained power draw when both 750W supplies run the dual 2.4GHz CPUs and 24 drive bays continuously?

Dual 750W redundant supplies handle the two 8-core CPUs, 32GB DDR4, H730 controller and up to 24 SAS drives under full load.

Which rack rails and cable-management arms fit the 26.8-inch deep 2U chassis?

Standard Dell 2U sliding rails for 26.8-inch depth chassis are required; cable-management arm matches the same rail kit.
