Purpose-built server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays, dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with ten cores each, 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, and a PERC H730 RAID controller. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs and an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections come pre-installed. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, rails and bezel complete the package for midsize and large enterprise data-node workloads.

Fit and limits

This configuration suits buyers who need high drive density in a compact 2U form factor for virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or data-warehousing, and who value integrated remote management with iDRAC8 Enterprise. It does not suit buyers who need more than two sockets, more than 1.5 TB of total memory, or a chassis that accepts 3.5-inch drives, because the platform tops out at two CPUs, twenty-four DDR4 slots and 2.5-inch bays only.

Deciding spec

The twenty-four 2.5-inch bays backed by a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730 controller with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 support is the single specification that determines whether this server matches the storage density and redundancy needs of the target deployment.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual 750 Watt Platinum PSUs draw when this R730xd runs 24/7?

Two 750 W Platinum supplies share the load, so each unit runs well below its peak; the 10-core Xeons top out at 2.6 GHz base and 3.3 GHz Turbo, keeping sustained draw far under the 750 W ceiling.

Which drive carriers or caddies must I already have to populate the remaining 2.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts standard Dell 2.5" hot-swap carriers; the two included 400 GB SSDs ship in their own caddies, so only additional Dell trays are needed for extra drives.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise older 6 Gb/s SAS drives I want to reuse?

Yes, the H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA and will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s for legacy disks, allowing them to join RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 arrays.
