Dual-socket 2U server for dense storage workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd fits twelve 3.5-inch bays in a 2U rack height, giving midsize and large enterprises a compact platform for data warehouses, e-commerce, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes. Two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo provide sixteen total cores, while 128 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules supports heavy multitasking.

PERC H730 controller and quad-port networking

The H730 1 GB mini controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through across the twelve installed 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives, and its battery protects cached writes during power loss. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports on a single low-profile bracket, simplifying top-of-rack cabling. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides full out-of-band management with virtual console and lifecycle automation.

Verify rack depth, rail clearance and SFP+ optics

The 2U chassis requires a four-post rack with sufficient depth for the included Ready Rails; measure the cabinet before ordering. Network connectivity uses SFP+ transceivers that are not included, so source compatible 10 Gb optics or direct-attach cables separately. Memory expansion uses the remaining sixteen DDR4 slots up to 1.5 TB total, but only registered ECC modules are supported.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller battery need?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed write cache; the battery is a replaceable module that typically lasts several years and can be swapped without tools when the iDRAC8 alerts you.

Which limit appears first when all twelve 4 TB drives and both CPUs run continuously?

The 750 W Platinum power supplies set the ceiling; combined CPU turbo draw and twelve spinning 7.2K SATA drives can approach the redundant supply budget before thermal throttling activates.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors and twelve drives running 24/7?

Dual 750 W Platinum PSUs and redundant hot-swap fans keep inlet temperatures within ASHRAE A2 limits; fan speed ramps under load but stays at data-centre-typical acoustics for a 2U rack server.
