Dense 2U storage server for data-intensive workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd packs two 14-core Xeon processors at 2.4 GHz with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs sit behind a PERC H730 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, VDI, data warehousing or HPC data-node tasks.

SATA SSD throughput caps sustained write performance

All 24 drives use the SATA 6 Gb/s interface, so sequential throughput tops out at the link speed regardless of the controller’s 12 Gb/s SAS capability. The H730’s 1 GB cache and battery-backed write-back help random I/O, but the drives themselves limit peak bandwidth. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for fabric connectivity.

Hot-swap bays and redundant platinum PSUs simplify

Tool-less 2.5-inch drive carriers slide out the front while the server stays online. Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency supplies share the load and allow one unit to fail without downtime. Included ready rails and a front bezel mount the chassis in standard racks, and iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives remote console, power control and hardware monitoring over a dedicated management port.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 24-bay 2.5" configuration and other drive layouts for the PowerEdge R730xd?

This unit ships with 24 bays populated by 400 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H730 controller; other bay counts are different chassis and not interchangeable.

What does the 2.4 GHz Xeon E5-2680 v4 clock mean when the server is under load?

Each of the two 14-core processors can turbo to 3.3 GHz, so sustained throughput depends on cooling and workload rather than the base clock alone.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730 controller cap in practice?

The controller limits each drive to SATA 6 Gb/s speeds and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 plus pass-through for the installed SSDs.
