Purpose-built 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 12-bay 3.5-inch rack server designed for capacity-intensive workloads such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, 512 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across 16 DIMMs, and a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for bulk storage; not for all-flash density

This chassis targets organisations that need twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drive bays behind a single 2U footprint, backed by redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who require 2.5-inch bay density for larger flash arrays, or who need more than two processor sockets, should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch drive trays connected to the PERC H730 controller, which determines both raw capacity ceiling and the RAID levels available for data protection. No drives are included, so the buyer must populate the bays with compatible SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs to match the intended workload.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the PERC H730 1GB controller support for the 12 SATA/SAS drive bays?

The PERC H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode across the 12 drive bays.

What rack space and rails are needed to mount this 2U server?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and includes Ready Rails for square-hole and round-hole 4-post racks.

How is the PERC H730 controller installed and what step is often missed?

The PERC H730 Mini is pre-installed in the dedicated storage slot; the step often missed is connecting the controller battery to enable write-back caching.
