Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack frame. Two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors provide 20 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, backed by 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the 24 included 600 GB 10K SAS drives in a wide choice of RAID levels.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or data-warehouse workloads that benefit from high core counts and large local spindle capacity. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links plus iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management simplify integration into existing rack environments. Buyers who need solid-state latency, GPU compute density or a non-rack form factor should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Constraint

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel that fixes both the physical footprint and the maximum number of spinning drives. Workloads requiring more than 24 spindles, 3.5-inch drive carriers or a deeper chassis for additional PCIe cards cannot use this server without external enclosures.

Questions about this item

What rail kit is included for mounting the 2U chassis in a rack?

The server ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard 2U rack installation.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors and the 256 GB DDR4 memory?

Populate CPU socket 1 first, then CPU socket 2, and fill the 24 DIMM slots evenly across both processors using registered ECC DDR4 modules.

Which component provides cache protection on the PERC H730 controller and when should it be replaced?

The H730 includes a 1 GB battery-backed cache; replace the battery when iDRAC 8 Enterprise reports a degraded or failed cache battery status.
