Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two 14-core Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors at 2.4 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays, currently populated by two 800 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Suits virtualisation and storage-heavy workloads

This server suits teams running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high core counts and dense 2.5-inch drive bays. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need more than two processors or memory beyond 1.5 TB capacity should look at larger platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available for your storage layout.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the controller initialises and displays its firmware version and battery status; the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard then shows all 24 drive bays, the two 800GB SSDs and any configured virtual disks with a green health indicator.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The unit ships with two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, eight 16GB DDR4 RDIMMs totalling 128GB, the PERC H730 1GB controller with battery, two 800GB SATA SSDs, the X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W platinum power supplies, bezel and ready rails; additional drives or memory modules are not included.

Should I choose this 128GB configuration or add more memory for virtualisation workloads?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5TB; with eight slots populated by 16GB modules there are 16 free slots, so extra capacity can be added later if VM density demands it.
