Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 1 GB 12 Gbps RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the chassis.

Storage-heavy workloads on a budget

This configuration suits teams that need up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA bays behind a hardware RAID engine supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of memory or a second processor should look elsewhere because the installed DIMM count and single-CPU layout cannot be changed without additional parts not listed here.

12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug capacity

The defining spec is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays that accept SAS or SATA drives and connect to the H730 controller. This bay count fixes the maximum raw capacity at 52 TB and determines whether the server fits a given storage density requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 26.8-inch long server require?

The chassis is 26.8 inches deep, so a standard rack with at least that much usable depth is needed.

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

The H730 occupies the dedicated RAID card slot; the step often missed is connecting its 1 GB cache module and enabling write-back caching in the controller BIOS.

When will the 7.2K RPM SAS drives typically need replacement?

The three 2 TB 7.2K RPM SAS drives are mechanical; plan to replace them after 3 to 5 years of continuous operation or when SMART alerts appear.
