Dense 2U storage node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.0 GHz, and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 300 GB 10 K SAS drives, providing high spindle-count capacity behind a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete a platform designed for data-intensive workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, and high-performance computing data nodes.

Suits spindle-heavy workloads

This configuration fits buyers who need many SAS spindles in a compact 2U form factor for sequential throughput or capacity-centritical applications. The 24-bay layout and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports support storage-heavy virtualisation and HPC data-node roles. Buyers who require solid-state performance or GPU compute density will not find flash-optimised bays or accelerator slots in this chassis.

PERC H730 RAID flexibility

The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes, letting administrators tune redundancy and performance for the 24 installed SAS drives. Battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss, which is critical for database consistency. The single specification that decides fit is whether the workload can use 24 x 300 GB 10 K SAS spindles behind this RAID engine.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R730xd 2U server require for mounting?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for installation in a standard 4-post rack.

How are the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and 256 GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 8x 32 GB DDR4 modules fill 8 of 24 slots — apply the firmware update before deploying workloads.

Which components in the 24-bay SAS chassis will need replacement first under heavy use?

The 24x 300 GB 10K SAS drives and the PERC H730 controller battery are the primary wear items; the dual 750 W PSUs are hot-swap for easy replacement.
