2U Rack Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built for workloads that demand high drive density. Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 memory provide compute capacity for virtualization, databases and data-intensive applications.

Suits high-capacity storage nodes.

This platform fits environments that need many 2.5-inch drives in a compact form factor, such as software-defined storage clusters or backup targets. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or single-thread performance beyond six cores per socket should evaluate other architectures.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis defines expansion limits

The server supports up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives behind the front bezel. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs ship installed, and the PERC H730 controller manages RAID across the remaining bays.

Questions about this item

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 1GB controller includes a battery backed write cache; plan to replace the battery module every 3 to 5 years to maintain RAID write performance and data protection during power loss.

Which component reaches its limit first during sustained heavy I/O on the 400GB SSDs?

The two 400GB SATA SSDs will hit their write endurance ceiling before the 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller or the 256GB DDR4 memory saturate under continuous mixed workloads.

How loud and hot does the chassis get with both 750W power supplies running 24/7?

Dual 750W platinum supplies and redundant hot-swap fans keep the 2U rack unit within Dell's thermal spec; expect typical datacentre noise levels and exhaust temperatures suitable for standard cold-aisle containment.
