Dense 2U server for storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6GHz 10-core processors and 64GB DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U chassis. Twenty-four 2.5-inch bays hold 300GB 10K SAS drives served by a PERC H730 controller with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 750W platinum supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the package.

Suits database or virtualisation nodes needing

Buyers who want all-flash speed should look elsewhere because the installed drives are 10K SAS hard disks. Builders who need more than two sockets or more than 1.5TB RAM cannot expand this platform further. Sites without 10GbE SFP+ switching cannot use the X520 ports at full rate.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis decides fit

The defining constraint is the twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in 2U; if the rack plan calls for 3.5-inch drives or fewer bays, this server will not match the mechanical layout.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections does this 2U server need?

It fits a 2U rack slot and uses two 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies.

Will the PERC H730 controller manage the 24 installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives together with older SATA disks?

Yes, the H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs and 64 GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

Check the iDRAC 8 Enterprise console or BIOS POST for two 10-core processors at 2.6 GHz and 64 GB registered ECC memory.
