Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver twenty-four cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache handle demanding storage workloads. Redundant 750-watt platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise management complete the package.

Suits storage-heavy roles

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high drive-count density. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Organisations needing fewer drive bays, different drive capacities or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other platforms. Buyers requiring GPU acceleration or specialised compute cards will need a chassis with PCIe expansion beyond the storage-focused backplane.

Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs decide fit

The installed complement of twenty-four 400 GB SATA solid-state drives sets the usable capacity and performance baseline. The PERC H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage. Memory can scale to 1.5 TB across twenty-four DDR4 slots when workloads demand more than the factory 64 GB. Verify that SATA SSD endurance and the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller bandwidth match your application requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 × 400 GB SATA SSDs and which step is commonly missed?

Slide each 2.5" drive into the front hot-swap bays until the carrier locks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disks in the PERC H730 BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730 controller need later?

The on-board 1 GB cache uses a replaceable battery-backed module; plan to swap that module when the controller logs a battery-learn cycle failure.

What limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs run at 3.3 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 2 × 750 W platinum power supplies set the thermal and current ceiling; prolonged all-core turbo can trip their over-temperature protection before the CPUs throttle.
