Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high drive density and dual-processor compute. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running 12 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Memory capacity is 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC across four 16 GB modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives connected to a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Suited for capacity-heavy workloads

This configuration fits environments that run databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, or data-warehouse nodes where raw spindle capacity and dual-socket throughput matter. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric attachment. Buyers who need solid-state speed or more than 1.5 TB of memory should evaluate other platforms. The system includes iDRAC 8 Enterprise, dual 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and bezel.

24-bay SAS drive count

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. That combination decides whether the chassis can deliver the spindle count and redundancy scheme your dataset requires. Memory can scale to 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots if the workload grows.

Questions about this item

What SFP+ transceivers and cabling are required to use the 10GbE ports on the X520/I350 daughter card?

The X520/I350 card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports; you must supply compatible SFP+ modules and either fibre or direct-attach copper cables for each link.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise and manage the 24 installed 1.2TB SAS drives without additional cabling?

Yes, the H730 mini controller connects to the 24-bay backplane and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across all 1.2TB SAS drives out of the box.

How can I verify iDRAC8 Enterprise is active and reachable after the server powers on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, then browse to the IP shown on the front LCD or issued by DHCP; the iDRAC8 Enterprise login page confirms it is operational.
