Dense 24-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors provide twenty-eight cores at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills sixteen slots. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives.

Suited to capacity-heavy workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high spindle counts in a compact chassis, such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure or HPC data nodes. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP+ daughter card supports converged traffic. Buyers who need solid-state tiers, GPU compute density or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining constraint is the twenty-four-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 RAID controller. It dictates the maximum raw capacity and the RAID levels available, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Confirm that your workload fits within the 300 GB per drive limit and the 12 Gb/s SAS interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5-inch configuration or a smaller drive count for this R730xd?

The 24-bay 2.5-inch layout fills the chassis with 24x 300GB 10K SAS drives, giving maximum spindle count and raw capacity in a 2U form factor; fewer bays would reduce both.

What does the 2.4GHz 14-core Xeon E5-2680 v4 deliver once installed in this server?

Two E5-2680 v4 processors provide 28 total cores at 2.4GHz base with 3.3GHz turbo, fed by 512GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC across 16 DIMM slots, leaving 8 slots open for expansion to 1.5TB.

How does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS controller limit real-world drive performance?

The H730 1GB controller runs at 12Gb/s SAS/SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through, so the 24x 300GB 10K SAS drives are capped by the 12Gb/s link and controller cache, not by drive interface speed.
