HDD 24 x 2.4TB 10K SAS

  • Dual 14-core Xeon processors at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo for heavy compute
  • 512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules for large datasets
  • 24 enterprise 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives on H730 RAID controller
  • Quad-port network card with dual 1 GbE and dual 10 Gb SFP+ links
  • iDRAC 8 Enterprise plus dual 750 W platinum PSUs for remote management and power redundancy

Capacity and Compute

This 2U rack server delivers 24 drive bays populated with 2.4TB 10K SAS disks and 512GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors provide 28 total cores at 2.0GHz with 3.0GHz turbo for dense virtualisation and database workloads.

Fit and Alternatives

It suits teams needing high spindle count and large memory in a 2U form factor with redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise management. Buyers who need solid-state media, more than two sockets or a deeper GPU-ready chassis should evaluate other platforms.

Storage Controller Decider

The PERC H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through on a 12Gb/s SAS backplane. If your deployment requires that RAID breadth and 24-bay SAS density, this server matches the requirement.

Questions about this item

What interface and speed does the PERC H730 controller use, and what throughput does that cap?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller; the 24 installed 2.4TB drives run at 12Gb/s SAS, so the backplane caps at that rate.

What mounting hardware comes with the R730xd and what rack spacing does it need?

Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel are included; the chassis is a 2U rack server, so it occupies two rack units in a standard four-post cabinet.

How are the 24 drives installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; the common miss is not seating each carrier until the latch clicks, which leaves the SAS connector unengaged.
