Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built for capacity-heavy workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with ten cores each and 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. Twelve 3.5-inch 6 TB SATA drives sit behind a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the package.

Suited for bulk data workloads

This configuration fits environments that need high raw capacity in a compact rack footprint such as backup repositories, archive stores or dense virtualisation hosts. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require flash-accelerated performance or all-flash arrays should evaluate platforms designed for that tier.

12-bay 3.5-inch drive chassis

The defining constraint is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays served by a single H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. That bay count and controller combination fixes the maximum spindle count and the RAID topology you can deploy in this 2U form factor.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R730xd need?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with ready rails for standard cabinet mounting.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors and the 64GB of DDR4 memory?

Install both processors first, then populate the 24 DIMM slots starting with the four 16GB registered ECC modules in the channels indicated by the system board silkscreen.

Which components in this configuration are hot-swappable and will need replacement over time?

The twelve 6TB 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and the two 750W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable; the PERC H730 controller battery will also require periodic replacement.
