Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for workloads that demand high drive density and large memory capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 300 GB 10K SAS hard drives.

Suited for database and virtualisation nodes

This configuration fits midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache. Quad-port networking provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who require solid-state media, GPU compute or a different drive count should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel that accepts SAS and SATA drives. It determines how many spindles or solid-state devices can be installed internally without external enclosures. The H730 controller manages those drives through a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane. If the target deployment needs more or fewer bays, or a 3.5-inch form factor, this chassis will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum number of processors the R730xd can support?

The system supports a maximum of two processors and both sockets are already populated with 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs.

How much heat and power do the redundant 750W platinum supplies generate during continuous operation?

Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy; actual heat and draw scale with the workload placed on the 28 total cores and 512GB of DDR4.

Which drive trays and backplane are required to use all 24 front bays?

The 2U chassis ships with 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays, rails and bezel included.
