Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies eight of 24 slots, leaving room to grow toward the 1.5 TB maximum. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management out of the box.

Storage-focused workloads

This platform suits teams running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes that need many local spindles or SSDs. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache. Builders who need more than two sockets, more than 1.5 TB of RAM, or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch capacity

The defining specification is the 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch trays that accept SATA or SAS drives. No drives are included, so the buyer chooses capacity and media type. This bay count determines whether the server can meet the storage density the workload requires.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the H730 BIOS will display its firmware version and report battery status; the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface then shows controller health, virtual-disk state and any patrol-read alerts.

Which drives and cables must I supply because they are not included?

The chassis provides 24 front 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays; no hard drives, SSDs or additional SAS cables are in the box.

Should I select the 256 GB DDR4 2133 MHz configuration or add modules up to the 1.5 TB limit?

Eight 32 GB registered ECC DIMMs are already installed across 24 slots; add matching DDR4 2133 MHz modules in sets of two per processor to reach the 1.5 TB maximum.
