Dense 2U rack server for storage-heavy workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays accept SATA or SAS drives, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suits storage-dense compute.

This server suits organisations that need high internal storage capacity with twelve 3.5-inch bays and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 Gb SFP+ networking. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or extensive PCIe expansion beyond the storage controller and network daughter card should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays: they set the maximum raw capacity and drive count available without external enclosures. If your workload demands more bays or a different form factor, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the R730xd accept the DDR4 RDIMMs I already own for my older Dell servers?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and currently holds eight 32 GB modules at 2133 MHz; any registered ECC DDR4 within that speed range will install and run.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller and both Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both processors will show as 12-core at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, and the H730 will appear with its 1 GB cache and battery.

Which items ship with the server and what must I source separately?

Included are 12 x 3.5" SAS/SATA trays, ready rails, front bezel, dual 750 W platinum PSUs and the quad-port X520/I350 network card; hard drives are not supplied.
