Dual-socket Xeon rack server for storage-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo. Twenty-four DIMM slots hold 64 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory, expandable to 1.5 TB. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives in hot-swap trays.

Suits buyers needing dense local storage

This chassis fits workloads that demand twelve drive bays, hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides full remote management. Builders who need a different drive form factor, more than two sockets or a newer CPU generation should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the H730 controller supporting RAID levels up to 60. If the deployment requires that exact bay count and RAID capability in a 2U rack, this server matches; otherwise a different chassis or controller is required.

Questions about this item

What drives do I need to populate the 12 x 3.5" bays?

The bays accept 3.5" SATA or SAS hard drives or SSDs; no drives are included so you must supply them.

Will my existing PERC H730 RAID configuration import without rebuild?

The onboard PERC H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through, so a foreign-config import will recognise the array.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote console is active after first boot?

Attach a monitor, enter the iDRAC setup at POST, verify the network settings, then open the web interface to see the virtual console.
