24-bay 2U server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system fitted with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors provide twenty cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise complete the package.

Ideal for capacity-heavy databases

This configuration suits buyers who need maximum spindle count in a 2U form factor. The 24 x 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives deliver high sequential throughput for data warehouses, VDI storage pools or HPC data nodes. The quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card adds two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE links. Buyers who need solid-state latency or more than twenty-four drive bays should look at other platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 12 Gb SAS connectivity

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H730 with 1 GB non-volatile cache and a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface. It manages all twenty-four drives internally and provides battery-backed write caching for the supported RAID levels. This single component determines whether the array can sustain the write-heavy workloads typical of the target applications.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual 750 W power supply run under continuous load?

Two 750 watt platinum-efficiency supplies share the load, reducing heat and fan speed compared with a single larger unit.

Which cables or drive trays are required to populate the 24 front bays?

The 24-bay 2.5 inch chassis ships with ready rails and a front bezel; drive trays are included for each installed 2.4 TB SAS drive.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 2.4 TB SAS drives together with older 6 Gb SATA disks?

The H730 supports 12 Gb SAS and SATA pass-through, so legacy 6 Gb SATA drives can be added to the same backplane.
