Dense 2U server with dual Xeon and 24 bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with 8 cores each into a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and includes a PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA drive bays provide high internal storage density.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads.

Organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes will benefit from the drive count and memory capacity. The dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports on the Intel X520/I350 daughter card give strong network throughput. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or PCIe add-in cards beyond the available slots should consider a different platform.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane decides fit

The chassis accepts up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA SSDs or HDDs, so the right part hinges on whether the deployment needs that many hot-swap drives in a 2U space. The PERC H730 controller manages the array with 1 GB cache and battery backup. If the project requires fewer bays or a different drive interface, another server model will match better.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own rails and bezel to install this 2U rack server?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included with the PowerEdge R730xd so no extra mounting kit is required.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise the existing 2.5" SATA drives I already own?

The H730 supports both SAS and SATA on the 24-bay backplane, so your current 2.5" SATA drives will be detected and can be configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I confirm the two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors are running at their 3.4 GHz turbo speed after setup?

Check the CPU frequency in the iDRAC 8 Enterprise dashboard or the system BIOS; it will show 3.4 GHz when the 8-core processors hit maximum turbo.
