Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 bays for 2.5-inch SAS drives into a 2U rack chassis. Dual 14-core Xeon processors at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo provide 28 cores total. 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies eight of the 24 DIMM slots. The PERC H730 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits workloads that need high drive counts and dual-socket compute such as virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or HPC data nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports handles mixed traffic. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full remote management. Builders who need solid-state storage or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch drive capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel that holds 300 GB 10 K SAS disks in this unit. It sets the raw storage ceiling and determines whether the chassis fits the planned drive count. Buyers whose workloads demand a different bay count or form factor must choose a different chassis.

Questions about this item

What rack depth do the included Ready Rails need for this 2U server?

The Ready Rails supplied with the R730xd mount in standard four-post racks; verify your rack depth against the rail adjustment range before installation.

In what order should the two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors and the 128 GB DDR4 memory be installed?

Populate CPU socket 1 first, then add the second processor; fill memory channels evenly across both CPUs using the 24 DIMM slots for best performance.

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The RAID controller battery typically lasts three to five years; monitor iDRAC 8 Enterprise alerts for battery health and replace when warned.
