PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. Two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz provide 16 total cores. 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across 24 slots. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs connect through a PERC H730 controller.

Suited for virtualization

This system fits midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card offers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory or more than two sockets should look at a different platform.

24-bay 2.5-inch drive capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs and a H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails are included. Verify that your workload fits within the SATA SSD throughput and the 1.5 TB memory ceiling.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 SATA SSDs into the 2.5" drive bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5" SSD into the front hot-swap bays until the carrier clicks; the step often missed is configuring the virtual disks in the PERC H730 BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller battery need later?

The H730's 1GB cache battery backs write-cache during power loss; plan to replace the battery module every 3 to 5 years or when iDRAC 8 reports a degraded state.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs run at 3.4 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 2U chassis airflow and dual 750 W platinum PSUs set the practical ceiling; sustained 3.4 GHz turbo on all 16 cores will hit the platform power budget before CPU junction temperature becomes the bottleneck.
