Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are standard.

Suits virtualisation and storage-heavy databases

This configuration suits teams running virtualisation clusters, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes that need many drive bays. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS and SATA drives with hardware RAID levels up to RAID 60. Buyers who need a tower chassis, single-socket density or more than two processors should look at other form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA chassis with PERC H730

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front-loading chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller. It accepts SAS and SATA drives and provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This density and controller combination decides whether the server fits the intended storage topology.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller is operating correctly after installation?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface and check the storage tab; the controller should show 1GB cache, battery status good, and both 300GB SAS drives configured in your chosen RAID level.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs, 256GB DDR4 in eight 32GB modules, H730 controller with battery, two 300GB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, rails and bezel; additional drives or memory are not included.

Should I choose a different drive capacity or controller variant for this 24-bay chassis?

This listing provides the H730 1GB controller and two 300GB SAS drives; the 24-bay 2.5" chassis supports SAS and SATA drives, so select larger-capacity SAS or SATA drives if you need more storage than 300GB.
