2U Rack Server with 24-Bay SATA Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs fill every 2.5-inch drive bay.

Suited for Storage-Dense Virtualisation

This configuration fits environments that need high drive counts in a compact chassis, such as virtual desktop infrastructure nodes, database clusters or data-warehouse nodes. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a battery-backed cache. Buyers who need PCIe-attached storage, more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SATA Chassis Dictates Drive Choice

The front panel provides 24 hot-swap bays wired for SATA and SAS protocols. Every bay is occupied by a 400 GB enterprise SATA SSD in this listing. Expansion beyond these 24 drives requires external enclosures because no internal bays remain.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports on the X520/I350 card?

Yes, the X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ ports that require compatible SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables, which are not included with the server.

Can I add my existing SATA hard drives to the remaining drive bays alongside the installed 400 GB SSDs?

The PERC H730 controller supports both SAS and SATA drives, so you can populate any of the 24 2.5-inch bays with additional SATA HDDs or SSDs and configure them in the same or separate virtual disks.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is managing all 24 SSDs correctly after installation?

During boot, open the PERC H730 BIOS utility (Ctrl+R) to confirm all 24 drives appear, check that the desired RAID level shows optimal status, then use iDRAC8 Enterprise or OpenManage to monitor drive health and controller logs.
