Dense 2U storage server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives into a 2U rack frame, providing high local capacity for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-node workloads. Two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors supply 16 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo, while 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory handles concurrent virtual machines and large datasets.

Suited for storage-heavy nodes.

The chassis targets applications that prioritise drive count over expansion slots, making it a match for software-defined storage clusters and backup targets. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, additional PCIe cards or a smaller drive bay count should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery-protected 1 GB cache. This single component determines the RAID levels and write-performance ceiling available to the 24 drive bays.

Questions about this item

What is the first limit reached under sustained heavy compute loads?

The two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors hit their 3.4 GHz turbo ceiling before any other subsystem saturates.

How much heat and power should I plan for when the server runs continuously?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies provide redundancy; actual draw scales with workload but will not exceed the PSU rating.

What networking hardware must already be in the rack for the onboard ports to function?

Two SFP+ modules or direct-attach cables plus a 10 GbE switch are needed for the X520 ports; the I350 ports need standard 1 GbE switch ports.
