Dense 24-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 800 GB SATA solid-state drives fill every 2.5-inch bay, delivering high-capacity flash storage in a compact chassis. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and an iDRAC8 Enterprise module provide redundancy and remote management out of the box.

Fits virtualization and database nodes needing

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or data-warehouse workloads that benefit from 24 hot-swap SATA drives and dual-socket compute. The two-processor limit and LGA 2011-3 platform mean the system cannot scale beyond 1.5 TB of memory or support newer CPU generations. Buyers who require more than two sockets, faster storage interfaces or larger memory capacity should evaluate other platforms.

24 SATA SSD bays define the storage ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the H730 RAID controller. It locks the storage layer to 6 Gb/s SATA SSDs or hard drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the workload demands a different drive protocol or more than twenty-four devices, this chassis cannot accommodate it.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail type does the R730xd require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Dell Ready Rails for square-hole or round-hole cabinets.

In which order should the CPUs, memory and PERC H730 battery be installed?

Fit both Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors first, then populate the 24 DDR4 slots starting with the four 16 GB modules, and finally connect the H730 controller battery before cabling the 24 SSDs.

Which components are hot-swappable and what is the typical SSD endurance cycle?

The 24 x 800 GB SATA SSDs, both 750 W power supplies and all cooling fans are hot-swappable; enterprise SATA SSDs of this class are rated for multiple drive-writes per day over a five-year period.
