PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each with 14 cores running at 2.40 GHz and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS hard drives provide 2.4 TB each, all managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Storage-heavy workloads vs compute-only needs

This server suits organisations that need high-capacity local storage in a compact rack footprint, such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure nodes or database clusters. The 24-bay chassis and 12 Gb/s SAS backbone feed multiple drives directly to the hardware RAID engine. Buyers who only need raw compute cycles without large spinning-disk arrays should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-drive 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines whether the system can deliver the throughput and redundancy your workload requires.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors and 256GB DDR4 are detected after installation?

Check the iDRAC 8 Enterprise dashboard and system BIOS; both will show two CPUs, 28 total cores at 2.40 GHz base speed, and 256GB registered ECC memory across eight 32GB modules.

Which drives, rails, bezel and network card ship with the server, and what must I source separately?

The unit includes 24x 2.4TB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, PERC H730 1GB controller with battery, Intel X520/I350 quad-port card (2x 1GbE, 2x 10Gb SFP+), ready rails and front bezel; only SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables for the 10Gb ports are not supplied.

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5" SAS configuration or a different bay count for this R730xd?

This specific listing is the 24-bay 2.5" model populated with 24x 2.4TB SAS drives; other bay counts or drive types are separate listings not covered here.
