High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for storage-heavy workloads in midsize and large enterprises. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives populate every 2.5-inch bay, providing high-capacity local storage.

Suited for storage-intensive virtualisation

This configuration targets environments that need large SAS arrays behind a single server, such as virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or HPC data nodes. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise simplify uptime and remote management. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports handles mixed traffic. Buyers who need solid-state media, more than 24 drive bays or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel wired to a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and the PERC H730 RAID controller. Only 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives fit natively, and the installed complement is 24 x 1.2 TB 10K spindles. Maximum memory reaches 1.5 TB across the 24 DIMM slots, but the CPU socket count is fixed at two LGA 2011-3 processors. Confirm the bay count, drive interface and processor limit match your deployment before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell PERC H730 controller require a separate RAID key to enable RAID 6?

The H730 controller supports RAID 6 natively without an additional key, so the 24 installed 1.2TB SAS drives can be configured in RAID 6 immediately.

Can I keep my existing 6 Gb/s SAS drives and mix them with the installed 12 Gb/s drives?

The H730 controller and backplane support both 6 Gb/s and 12 Gb/s SAS, so older drives will work but will run at their native 6 Gb/s speed.

How can I verify the dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors are both recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or the system BIOS; both will show 2 processors, 28 cores total, running at 2.0 GHz base with 3.2 GHz turbo.
