24-Bay 2U Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 controller. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors provide thirty-two total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and redundant 750-watt power supplies complete the platform.

Suits Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration fits environments that need high drive-count density and hardware RAID across SATA or SAS media. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate larger chassis options. Workloads demanding GPU compute or fibre-channel connectivity are not addressed by this system.

PERC H730 RAID Controller Decides Fit

The included H730 card delivers 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 1 GB cache and battery backup. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. If your deployment requires a different controller feature set or external JBOD expansion, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives for the 24 front bays?

Yes, the server ships with 24 empty 2.5-inch hot-swap trays; you must add compatible SAS or SATA drives to store data.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 expansion cards work with the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs and C610 chipset?

The two E5-2683 v4 processors provide 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes each, so PCIe 3.0 cards install and run at full speed.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is healthy after installation?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface, navigate to Storage, and confirm the H730 shows Optimal status with battery present.
