Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for workloads that demand high drive density and dual-socket compute. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz, supported by 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs sit behind a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery-backed write cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise management complete the platform.

Suited for capacity-bound workloads

This configuration fits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from 24 hot-swap 2.5‑inch bays and quad-port 1 GbE plus dual 10 GbE SFP+ networking. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, larger memory capacity than 1.5 TB, or drive interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed 24‑drive layout also limits expansion beyond the populated bays.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA/SAS backplane

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5‑inch chassis wired for SATA and SAS drives through the H730 controller. It determines how many solid-state drives you can install, which RAID levels (0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60) are available, and whether the server can accept additional drive types without a hardware change.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rails are required to install this 2U server?

The server is a 2U rack-mount unit and ships with Ready Rails for standard four-post cabinets.

Can the existing 24 × 400 GB SATA SSDs be mixed with larger SAS drives on the PERC H730 controller?

Yes, the H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports mixed SAS and SATA drives in the same 24-bay chassis.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 are detected after power-on?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise System Inventory or the BIOS POST screen for two 16-core processors at 2.1 GHz and 128 GB registered ECC memory.
