Dual-socket 2U server with 24-bay SAS storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives fill the front bays, while a quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise complete the configuration.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This server targets organisations that need high drive-count SAS capacity in a compact 2U form factor, such as database nodes, VDI hosts or data-warehouse clusters. The dual 14-core CPUs and 1.5 TB maximum memory ceiling support heavily threaded applications. Buyers who require PCIe accelerator slots or a backplane designed for flash-optimised protocols should look elsewhere, as the 24-bay chassis and H730 controller are built around 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA drives.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the 24-drive 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination fixes the storage interface to 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA only, so the system cannot accept drives that require a different physical or electrical interface. Verify that your workload and drive pool match this constraint before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch drive bays accept my existing 3.5-inch SAS drives?

The chassis has 24 bays for 2.5-inch drives, so 3.5-inch drives will not fit.

How do I confirm the PERC H730 controller sees all 24 drives after installation?

Open the controller BIOS during boot or check iDRAC 8 Enterprise storage view; it will list every detected 600GB SAS drive.

Are the SFP+ transceivers for the X520 10Gb ports and the rack rails included?

The X520/I350 daughter card is installed and the Ready Rails are included; transceivers are not supplied.
