Dual Xeon 22-core server for storage-intensive

The PowerEdge R730xd combines two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors at 2.2 GHz with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots, delivering 44 total cores for virtualization, databases and high-performance computing nodes.

Suited for dense capacity workloads.

The 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch trays and PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for SAS or SATA media, while quad-port networking provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should consider other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with H730 RAID decides fit

The 2U rack form factor holds up to 24 SAS or SATA drives behind a single PERC H730 12 Gb/s controller, so the right part hinges on whether the deployment requires that bay count and RAID feature set in a two-socket server.

  • 24 hot-swap 2.5" trays enable massive local storage capacity

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 2.5-inch drive trays and what step is often missed?

Slide each tray into the front bays until it clicks; the step often missed is seating the tray fully so the SAS/SATA backplane connector engages.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller need later?

The H730 includes a 1GB cache battery; plan to replace that battery when iDRAC 8 Enterprise reports a degraded or failed cache-battery status.

What limit appears first under sustained load with the dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs?

The 2x 750-watt platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained turbo at 3.6GHz across 44 cores can draw enough power to hit the PSU limit before thermal throttling occurs.
