High-density SAS compute in 2U

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two 18-core Xeon processors at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 RAID controller driving twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives in a 2U rack chassis. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for dense storage compute.

This configuration serves workloads that demand many SAS spindles and high core counts in a single chassis, such as database nodes, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse segments. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS drive capacity

The chassis provides twenty-four hot-swap 2.5-inch bays populated with 600 GB 10K SAS drives behind a 12 Gb/s H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and drive interface determine whether the system fits a given storage density requirement.

Questions about this item

What storage throughput does the 12Gb/s SAS controller support across the 24 drive bays?

The Dell PERC H730 1GB controller runs at 12Gb/s SAS/SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through, capping each of the 24 bays at 12Gb/s.

What rail kit and bezel are included for rack mounting?

Ready Rails and a front bezel ship with the server for standard rack installation.

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

The H730 is a mini mono card that plugs into the dedicated storage slot; the battery module must be attached and seated before the first boot or the controller will not initialise its cache.
