Built for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server that pairs two 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and twenty-four 2.4 TB SAS hard drives behind a PERC H730 controller. It targets organisations that need high capacity and redundancy in a compact chassis for databases, virtual desktops or data-intensive compute nodes.

Verify rack space and networking

Confirm that your cabinet can accept a 2U unit and that the hot-swap redundant power supplies match your PDU connectors. The onboard X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so plan cabling and switch uplinks accordingly. Memory uses registered DDR4 modules across 24 slots, and the LGA 2011-3 sockets are already fully populated with both CPUs installed.

Sustained throughput with hardware RAID

The H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, keeping write performance steady during long rebuilds or heavy OLTP runs. Dual 750 W platinum supplies share the load, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise allows remote monitoring of thermals and drive health without host OS involvement. The 2.5-inch 10K drives maintain consistent IOPS under continuous random access better than nearline alternatives.

Questions about this item

What drives and accessories come in the box, and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with 24 Dell Enterprise 2.4 TB 10 K SAS 2.5" hard drives, a PERC H730 1 GB controller, quad-port X520/I350 networking, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and bezel. No SSDs or extra memory modules are included.

Should I choose the 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives or a different capacity for this 24-bay chassis?

The listing provides 24 x 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives, filling every bay. Select this capacity when you need maximum raw storage with 10 K performance; choose a different drive only if your workload demands SSD speed or a smaller footprint.

What does the 3.6 GHz turbo frequency mean once the dual 18-core Xeons are under load in this 2U server?

Each E5-2699 v3 can boost from 2.3 GHz to 3.6 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving short bursts of higher single-thread speed for database indexes or VDI logins while the 256 GB DDR4 and H730 cache sustain throughput.
