Dense 2U server for storage-heavy workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays support SATA or SAS drives, and a quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 8 Enterprise and dual 750 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration fits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, large databases or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from high core counts and massive internal drive density. The 24-bay chassis and dual 16-core CPUs provide the throughput those workloads demand. Buyers who need more than two sockets, greater memory capacity than 1.5 TB or a form factor smaller than 2U should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 controller dictates drive topology

The installed PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the 24 SATA/SAS bays and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 12 Gb/s SAS interface and battery-backed cache determine which drive types can be used and how they are protected. Confirm that your drives and RAID requirements match this controller before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any drives, or do I need to supply 2.5" SAS/SATA drives separately?

The chassis includes 24 empty 2.5" drive trays for SAS or SATA drives; no hard drives or SSDs are installed.

Which RAID modes does the PERC H730 controller support for the 24-bay array?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode across all 24 bays.

How much memory can I add beyond the 512 GB already installed?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and a 1.5 TB maximum, so up to 1 TB of additional registered ECC DDR4 can be fitted.
