Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built for workloads that need high drive density in a compact chassis. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each delivering 10 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays populated by 600 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Virtualisation hosts and data-intensive nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or software-defined storage where internal capacity and redundant power are priorities. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays, a single-socket design or a different drive interface should evaluate other form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 RAID controller, which determines how many drives can be installed and which RAID levels are supported. The chassis is limited to two processors and 1.5 TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, so memory expansion stays within that ceiling. Confirm that your rack depth and power budget accommodate a 2U unit with dual 750 W supplies before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated or do I need to buy drives separately?

The system includes 24 Dell Enterprise 600GB 10K SAS 12Gb/s 2.5" hard drives pre-installed, filling every bay.

Which memory configuration is already installed and how much room is left for expansion?

128GB is installed as 8x 16GB DDR4 2133MHz Registered ECC modules, leaving 16 of the 24 slots free up to a 1.5TB maximum.

What RAID levels can the PERC H730 controller handle with the 24 installed drives?

The H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through across the 24 SAS drives.
