Enterprise storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server configured with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. It delivers 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and includes a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID levels up to 60. The system ships with 24 front-accessible 300 GB 10K SAS drives and dual 750 W platinum power supplies for redundancy.

Suits dense storage workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high drive counts in a compact rack footprint, such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure and database nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and 12 Gb/s SAS backplane provide substantial local capacity without consuming additional rack units. Buyers who need solid-state media or larger individual drive capacities will need to populate the bays differently because the unit arrives with mechanical SAS drives installed.

24-bay SAS backplane

The single specification that determines fit is the 24-bay 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane paired with the H730 RAID controller, which defines both the maximum drive count and the supported drive protocols. Memory can scale to 1.5 TB across 24 slots using DDR4 modules, and networking is handled by an Intel X520/I350 quad-port daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Remote management is covered by iDRAC 8 Enterprise.

Questions about this item

Will my existing SAS drives work with the H730 controller in this R730xd?

The PERC H730 supports SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so current SAS disks can be used directly.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs and 512 GB DDR4 are recognised after installation?

iDRAC 8 Enterprise and the system BIOS will display both 8-core processors at 2.6 GHz and all 16 memory modules during POST.

Which items ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes 24 × 300 GB 10 K SAS drives, H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port card, two 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails; no extra parts are required for basic operation.
