Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server, Configured to Order
The R730xd is a dual-socket 2U rack server built around Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors and 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, giving it the compute headroom to sit anywhere from a departmental file server to a demanding virtualisation host.
What sets this generation apart is its storage flexibility: six distinct drive-bay configurations let you mix 1.8-inch NVMe SSDs with high-capacity 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives in the same chassis, so tiered storage and hybrid workloads are handled without extra hardware.
With up to six PCIe 3.0 slots, dual PERC controller support and drive counts as high as 26 in the all-2.5-inch configuration, the R730xd copes comfortably with database workloads, Exchange or SharePoint, and scale-out storage roles alike.
Order yours configured to your workload: choose processor, memory, drive bay layout, RAID controller and network daughter card to match the job rather than paying for capacity you won't use.

The PowerEdge R730xd pairs dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors with 24 DDR4 DIMM slots and one of six possible drive-bay layouts, making it as comfortable running dense virtual machine estates as it is acting as a high-capacity file or database server.
Configure the model below to choose your processor pairing, memory capacity, drive bays and RAID controller. Every build is tested and configured to order, so the specification you see reflects what will actually ship.
Typical Use Cases
- Virtualisation hosts running VMware ESXi or Hyper-V clusters
- High-IOPS database servers using 24-bay dual-PERC storage configurations
- Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint servers for unified communications workloads
- Bulk file and archive storage using the 16 x 3.5" high-capacity drive layout
- Hadoop and big data nodes needing large scale-out storage per chassis
- Tiered storage platforms combining SSD caching with SAS or nearline SAS capacity
- Colocation and hosting infrastructure requiring dense, hot-swappable storage
- Development and test environments needing a resource-rich, expandable rack server
