Capacity-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U chassis and ships with 24x 2.4TB 10K SAS drives, delivering high raw capacity for data-intensive workloads. Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6GHz with 3.4GHz turbo and 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory provide the compute base for virtualisation, databases and HPC data nodes.

Suited for storage-heavy roles.

This configuration targets buyers who need large SAS spindle arrays behind a PERC H730 controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. Organisations that require all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or single-thread speeds above the provided turbo frequency should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twenty-four 2.4TB SAS drives on a H730 controller

The single specification that decides fit is the 24x 2.4TB 10K SAS drive set managed by the Dell PERC H730 1GB controller; it defines both the total spindle capacity and the RAID flexibility available for the workload.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 24x 2.4TB SAS drives are recognised by the PERC H730 after installation?

Open the PERC H730 configuration utility during POST or use iDRAC8 Enterprise to view all 24 physical disks and their RAID status.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

Includes server with 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3, 128GB DDR4, PERC H730, 24x 2.4TB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, 2x 750W PSUs, bezel and rails. No extra items listed.

Which capacity should I choose if I need room to grow beyond 128GB DDR4?

The system has 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1.5TB DDR4, so you can add registered ECC modules later without replacing existing memory.
