Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each, 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, and twelve 6 TB enterprise SATA hard drives. A PERC H730 controller and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 Gb SFP+ networking complete the platform.

Suited for high-capacity storage nodes

This configuration fits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch drive bays and dual-socket compute in a 2U form factor. The twelve-bay chassis and H730 RAID controller support large RAID sets for databases, VDI or data-warehouse nodes. Buyers who require solid-state performance, all-flash arrays or GPU-accelerated compute will need a different configuration.

Twelve 6 TB 7.2K SATA drives on an H730 controller

The single specification that determines fit is the storage subsystem: twelve 3.5-inch 6 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 1 GB controller with battery-backed cache. This delivers high raw capacity and RAID flexibility but limits random I/O to spinning-disk speeds.

Questions about this item

What SATA speed does the PERC H730 controller support for the installed 6 TB drives?

The Dell PERC H730 controller connects the twelve 6 TB drives at 6 Gb/s SATA, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with its 1 GB cache and battery backup.

What rack-mount hardware is included with the 2U chassis?

Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel are supplied, allowing the 2U server to slide into a standard four-post rack without extra parts.

How are the two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Each CPU drops into an LGA 2011-3 socket on the C610 chipset board; the thermal paste must be cleaned and reapplied before the heatsink is torqued down, otherwise overheating occurs.
