  • Dual 750 W platinum supplies with hot-swap keep the system running

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 v4 processors each deliver fourteen cores at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupy eight of the twenty-four DIMM slots. The PERC H730 controller with one gigabyte cache manages RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the twenty-four installed 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives.

Suited for capacity-heavy workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that prioritise raw spindle capacity and dual-processor throughput. The quad-port network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric attachment. Buyers who need solid-state performance or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms. The system ships with iDRAC 8 Enterprise, dual 750 watt platinum power supplies, rails and bezel.

Twenty-four 2.4 TB SAS drives decide fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the storage array: twenty-four 2.4 TB 10K SAS disks behind a H730 controller. That combination fixes usable capacity, IOPS ceiling and RAID overhead for the workload. If the application demands a different drive count, interface or media type, this server is not the correct part.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 2.5" SAS drives in the front bays of the PowerEdge R730xd, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a hot-swap carrier until the latch clicks, then press the release button to lock it; the step often missed is confirming the PERC H730 controller detects every drive in the BIOS before creating a virtual disk.

Which components in this server will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The 24 enterprise 2.4TB 10K SAS drives and the two 750W Platinum power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; fans and the PERC H730 battery are also hot-swappable and rated for periodic replacement.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPUs run at 3.3GHz turbo across all 14 cores?

The dual 750W Platinum power supplies set the sustained ceiling; if total draw approaches their combined rating the system will throttle before the CPUs reach their maximum turbo frequency continuously.
