Dense 24-bay 2U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It carries dual 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 DIMMs. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suits virtualisation clusters needing high drive

This server fits environments that run databases, VDI or HPC data nodes and want many local drives in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than 1.5 TB of memory or a different drive form factor should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Only two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed, so the remaining bays determine total capacity.

Questions about this item

What rack height does this 2U server require?

It occupies 2U of rack space and includes ready rails and a front bezel for installation.

Can the installed Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors be upgraded later?

Both processor sockets are already populated with 14-core CPUs, so no further processor upgrades are possible.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller sees the two 800 GB SSDs after setup?

During boot, open the H730 configuration utility to confirm both drives appear and the desired RAID volume is optimal.
