Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors deliver twelve cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory fills all twenty-four slots. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the package.

Suited for cold-storage workloads

This configuration targets archives, backups and media repositories that value capacity over latency. The twelve 8 TB SATA drives spin at 7.2K rpm and connect through a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. Buyers who need solid-state speed or more than two processor sockets should look at alternative platforms.

1.5 TB memory ceiling

The C610 chipset supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across twenty-four DIMM slots. The system ships with 768 GB installed using 32 GB modules at 2133 MHz. Any expansion must use registered ECC DDR4 to retain stability.

Questions about this item

What rack height and power connections does the R730xd require to install in my cabinet?

The server is a 2U rack unit with two redundant hot-swap 750 watt power supplies, so it needs 2U of space and two PDU outlets.

Can I keep my existing SATA drives and use them with the PERC H730 controller in this server?

The PERC H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives, so your current SATA drives will work alongside the twelve installed 8TB SATA drives.

How can I verify the 768GB of DDR4 memory and dual Xeon processors are recognised after first boot?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS System Information screen; both will show 768GB DDR4 and two E5-2620 v3 CPUs.
