High-density 2U server with 24-bay SAS storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand large local storage capacity. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors provide 28 total cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise management are included.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis maximises drive count in a 2U footprint. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles moderate east-west traffic. Buyers needing GPU-accelerated compute or all-flash arrays without mechanical drives should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery

The storage controller is the decisive component for this server. It delivers 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with hardware RAID across all 24 bays and includes a battery-backed 1 GB cache to protect write operations during power loss. This enables the mixed RAID levels required for database logs, virtual machine stores and bulk data tiers on the installed 600 GB SAS drives.

Highlights

  • Dual 14-core Xeon CPUs deliver 28 threads at 2.0 GHz base with 3.0 GHz turbo
  • 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory across 16 modules supports up to 1.5 TB capacity
  • PERC H730 controller enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 for 24 SAS drives
  • Quad-port networking provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections
  • Dual 750 W platinum power supplies with hot-swap redundancy keep the server running

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 600GB SAS drives into the 2.5-inch bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier latch clicks; the step often missed is confirming the PERC H730 controller detects every drive in its BIOS before creating RAID volumes.

What maintenance or replacement will the 512GB DDR4 memory need later?

The 16 registered ECC DDR4 modules run at 2133 MHz; if a module fails, replace it with an identical 32GB DDR4-2133 registered ECC stick to keep error correction and speed matched.

What limit appears first when both 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs run at 3.0 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750 watt platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained all-core turbo on both processors can draw more than the redundant pair can deliver continuously.
