Dense 2U server for storage-heavy workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 2.5-inch 300 GB 10K SAS drives fill every bay, delivering high spindle-count capacity for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits buyers who need maximum drive density in 2U

This configuration targets organisations that prioritise raw SAS spindle count and large core counts over flash speed. The 24-bay chassis and dual 22-core CPUs handle heavily threaded database or HPC data-node tasks. Buyers who need solid-state speed, more than 1.5 TB of RAM or GPU accelerator support should look at different platforms because this unit has no SSD bays, maxes out at 1.5 TB memory and lacks PCIe width for compute cards.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis dictates storage

The defining constraint is the 24-drive 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It accepts only SAS or SATA hard drives in those bays, so capacity and IOPS are bounded by 10K spindle performance. Any deployment plan must work within that mechanical storage envelope.

Questions about this item

What rack and rails are needed to mount this 2U server?

The unit is a 2U rack-mount server and ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 10K SAS drives together with slower SATA drives?

The H730 supports SAS and SATA in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so mixed drive types can be grouped in the same array.

How can I verify the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after power-on?

Connect to the iDRAC network port, log in via browser or racadm, and confirm the firmware version and system inventory appear.
