24-Bay 2.5" 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server that fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays for dense local storage. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors provide 32 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. Two hundred fifty-six gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory populate eight of the twenty-four DIMM slots. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID across SAS and SATA drives.

Ideal for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration suits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high drive count and large memory capacity. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need solid-state boot drives or more than two processors should consider other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed H730 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode on a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA bus. It determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported without an additional controller purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the server boot without me adding any drives beyond the two 300 GB SAS disks that are already installed?

Yes — the PERC H730 controller and the two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives are pre-installed, so the system can boot and run an OS immediately.

Can I keep using my existing 6 Gb/s SAS or SATA drives in the remaining bays alongside the 12 Gb/s backplane?

The H730 controller supports both 12 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives, so older drives will work in the empty 2.5" bays at their native speed.

How do I confirm the 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC memory is recognised and healthy after first power-on?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface or watch the POST screen; both will show 256 GB detected across 24 slots with ECC status reported as OK.
