  • Quad-port X520/I350 network card adds 2× 1 GbE and 2× 10 Gb SFP+ connectivity

Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drives into a 2U rack chassis, giving midsize and large enterprises a high-density platform for data warehouses, e-commerce, VDI, databases and HPC data nodes. Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors supply sixteen cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo for parallel workloads.

Hot-swap bays and quad-port networking

Twenty-four front-accessible bays accept SATA or SAS media and the PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache. Two 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap fans provide redundancy without shutting down. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management.

Redundant cooling and power

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency supplies share the load, reducing waste heat under normal operation. Hot-swap fans maintain airflow if a module fails, keeping the sixteen-core configuration stable. The 2U form factor concentrates compute and storage while leaving rack space for additional nodes.

Questions about this item

What interface does the PERC H730 controller use, and what throughput does it cap at?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller; connected drives are limited to the SATA 6Gb/s link speed of the installed 800GB SSDs.

What physical mounting hardware comes with the server?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for installation in a standard 2U rack space.

How are the two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Both LGA 2011-3 CPUs are pre-installed; the common oversight is not populating memory slots in the correct channel order for the quad-channel architecture.
