Built for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two 12-core Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors at 2.5 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. Twenty-four hot-plug 2.5-inch bays give it high drive density for databases or virtualisation clusters that need local capacity. It ships with a PERC H730 RAID controller and dual 400 GB SATA SSDs for the operating system.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load so a single failure does not take the system offline. The 2U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow across the drive cage and CPU heatsinks; fan speeds ramp under sustained compute load but stay moderate at typical utilisation. Power draw scales with the number of drives installed and the workload on the 24 cores.

24 drive bays decide the fit

This chassis supports exactly twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives and no 3.5-inch trays, so buyers who need fewer bays or larger form-factor disks should choose a different platform. Expansion is limited to one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot on the included riser, restricting add-in cards to a single device such as an extra network adapter or HBA.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 400GB SATA SSDs into the 24-bay chassis, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a front 2.5-inch hot-plug bay until the carrier clicks, then confirm the PERC H730 controller detects both SSDs in the BIOS before creating a RAID volume.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The PERC H730 battery-backed cache module and the two 750 W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units that degrade over time.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors run at 3.3 GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750 W platinum power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; prolonged 3.3 GHz turbo on all 24 cores can trip their over-current protection.
