Dense 24-bay 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors each provide 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills 16 of the 24 available slots. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the 24 installed 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives.

Suited for capacity-heavy workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from many spindle drives in a compact chassis. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links plus iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management support dense deployments. Buyers who need solid-state media or more than 24 front-accessible bays will not find those options on this platform.

24 × 1.2 TB SAS drives decide fit

The defining specification is the set of twenty-four 1.2 TB 10 000 RPM SAS hard drives delivering raw capacity and spindle count in a single 2U enclosure. If the workload requires that many rotating drives behind a hardware RAID controller, this server matches the requirement; if solid-state performance or a different drive count is needed, another platform must be chosen.

Questions about this item

Which drive count and capacity should I choose for this R730xd?

The unit ships with 24 bays populated by 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives, giving a single factory configuration rather than a menu of options.

What does the 2.0 GHz Xeon speed mean once the server is running workloads?

Each of the two 14-core E5-2683 v3 processors runs at 2.0 GHz base and can reach 3.0 GHz turbo under load, providing 28 cores total for multi-threaded applications.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so drive throughput is limited by the 10K SAS media and the 12 Gb/s link.
