Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a two-rack-unit chassis. Two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver twenty-four cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. Seventy-eight gigabytes of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory fill all twenty-four DIMM slots. The PERC H730 controller manages the included six-hundred-gigabyte 10K SAS drives.

Sustained throughput under load

The H730 controller with its one-gigabyte battery-backed cache maintains consistent write performance across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 during extended operations. Dual 750-watt platinum power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The X520/I350 network daughter card provides two ten-gigabit SFP+ and two one-gigabit ports for steady data flow. iDRAC 8 Enterprise allows remote monitoring without interrupting the host.

Twenty-four bay capacity limit

This chassis accepts exactly twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and cannot be expanded further. Buyers who need more raw storage must add external enclosures or choose a different platform. The LGA 2011-3 sockets are already populated with the maximum two processors, so CPU upgrades are not possible. Memory can grow to 1.5 TB if larger DDR4 modules are sourced.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 750 watt supplies draw under full load?

Each supply is rated at 750 watt platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on the workload placed on the two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors and 24 drives.

Which drive caddies and rails are required to populate the 24 front bays?

The server ships with ready rails and a front bezel; 2.5 inch SAS drive carriers compatible with the PowerEdge R730xd chassis are needed for each 600 GB drive.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 600 GB 10K SAS drives together with larger capacity SAS or SATA drives?

The H730 supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through for SAS and SATA drives, so additional SAS or SATA drives can be added to the same array or separate arrays.
