Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, backed by 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for the 24 installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ links, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise and dual 750 W platinum supplies complete the platform.

Suited For High-Capacity Workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes and other I/O-heavy tasks that benefit from many spindles in a compact rack footprint. The 24-bay layout and hardware RAID suit teams needing redundant local storage without external arrays. Buyers who need all-flash performance or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms. Organisations requiring more than two sockets or memory beyond 1.5 TB will need a larger chassis.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 controller. It fixes the maximum drive count at 24 and limits media to SAS or SATA drives with 12 Gb/s signalling. Any expansion beyond internal bays requires external enclosures. Verify that your workload fits within 300 GB per spindle and the 1.5 TB memory ceiling before committing.

Questions about this item

What drive maintenance should I plan for with the 24 installed 300GB 10K SAS drives?

The 24 x 300GB 10K SAS drives are hot-swap; replace any failed unit without downtime and rebuild the PERC H730 RAID array automatically.

Which resource saturates first when all 24 cores run at 3.3GHz Turbo continuously?

The dual 750W platinum power supplies set the sustained ceiling; CPU turbo duration is limited by the platform power budget under full 24-core load.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 750W PSUs and all drive bays populated?

Redundant 750W platinum supplies and six hot-swap fans maintain inlet temperatures within spec; acoustic output stays in the normal 2U rack range.
