24-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 14-core processors run at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 64 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory is installed across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 1 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are fitted. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, quad-port 1/10 GbE networking, rails and bezel complete the unit.

Virtualisation hosts and storage-heavy workloads

The 24-bay chassis and dual 14-core CPUs suit virtualisation clusters, database nodes and VDI deployments that need dense local storage. The H730 controller and SATA SSD pair support mixed read-write workloads with hardware RAID redundancy. Organisations that require more than 24 drive bays or a different drive form factor will need a different chassis. Buyers who need GPU compute density should also evaluate alternative platforms.

24 front 2.5-inch bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front layout. It sets the maximum number of drives and the physical drive size the server can accept. All storage expansion must use 2.5-inch SATA or SAS devices within those 24 slots.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730xd get with both 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs and the H730 controller running 24/7?

Two 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling are built in; the system is designed for continuous data-centre operation.

What cabling and rack hardware do I need to install the 2U chassis with its quad-port X520/I350 daughter card?

The server ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel; SFP+ modules and patch cables for 10 GbE links are not included.

Will my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives work behind the PERC H730 1 GB controller in the 24-bay backplane?

Yes — the H730 supports SATA and SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes.
