Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 2.5-inch 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives fill the front bays, delivering high-capacity storage in a compact chassis.

Suited For And Not For

This configuration suits workloads that demand large amounts of rotational storage and dual-socket compute density, such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure or database nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need solid-state speed or a smaller drive count should look at a different platform, as the installed drives are 10K SAS and the backplane is populated with twenty-four bays.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that decides fit is the twenty-four 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives behind a H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination fixes both the raw capacity and the I/O profile of the system. If the workload requires a different drive type, a lower drive count or a controller without battery-backed cache, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R730xd require?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Dell Ready Rails for mounting in a standard four-post rack.

How are the 24 drives and the PERC H730 controller connected during installation?

The 2.5-inch drives slide into the front hot-swap backplane; the H730 mini controller installs in a dedicated internal slot and cables to the backplane.

Which components are hot-swappable and what replacement intervals should be planned?

The 24 SAS drives, both 750 W power supplies and system fans are hot-swappable; the H730 controller uses a replaceable battery for cache protection.
