2U Rack Server with 24 Drive Trays

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with dual 14-core Xeon processors at 2.4 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS or SATA trays. Dual 750 W platinum supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration targets organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high core counts and large internal drive density. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network card covers typical LAN and SAN links. Buyers who require more than two sockets, faster single-thread clocks or GPU expansion slots should evaluate alternative form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The chassis provides 24 front-accessible trays wired to a 12 Gb/s PERC H730 with 1 GB cache and battery backup. No drives are included, so the buyer selects SAS hard drives, SATA SSDs or a mix to match capacity and IOPS targets. This backplane count and controller combination is the decisive spec for storage-heavy deployments.

Questions about this item

What SAS/SATA speed does the PERC H730 controller support and how does that limit drive throughput?

The H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so attached drives are capped at 12Gb/s per lane.

What physical clearance and rails are required to mount this 2U chassis?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard four-post rack.

How is the PERC H730 controller installed and what step is commonly missed?

The H730 mini mono card plugs into the dedicated internal storage slot; the battery module must be connected to enable write-back caching.
