2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suits storage-heavy virtualisation and databases

This platform suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or database clusters that need many drive bays in a compact rack footprint. The twelve 3.5-inch trays support both SATA and SAS drives behind a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Buyers who need a smaller 1U form factor or GPU compute density should look at alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch trays paired with the PERC H730 storage controller. It delivers hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage. This combination determines whether the server matches a workload that prioritises local capacity over raw CPU throughput.

Questions about this item

What hard drives do I need to populate the twelve 3.5" trays?

The trays accept 3.5" SATA or SAS hard drives; no drives are included with the server.

Will my existing DDR4 ECC RDIMMs work in the twenty-four memory slots?

Yes, the server uses DDR4 registered ECC memory and has twenty-four slots supporting up to 1.5TB total capacity.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is healthy after installation?

Check the controller status in the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface and confirm the battery-backed cache reports optimal during POST.
