Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 memory, three 300 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. It includes two 750 W redundant power supplies, a DVD-ROM drive and an iDRAC8 remote-management module. The chassis provides 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives. No operating system is included.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

The system is aimed at organisations that need dense, redundant storage in a 2U form factor for virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads. Buyers who require a second processor, larger memory capacity or 10 GbE networking out of the box should look at other platforms.

Specification that decides fit

The installed memory is 64 GB DDR4 and the specification lists a maximum of 64 GB, so the server cannot be expanded beyond the shipped amount. If your workload demands more memory, this unit is not the right choice.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation does the H730 RAID controller use and what throughput does that cap it at?

The H730 connects over PCIe 3.0, so its 12Gbps SAS links are limited by the 8GT/s lane speed of that generation.

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U R730XD require?

The chassis is 26.8 inches deep and 3.4 inches high, so it needs a standard 2U sliding rail kit for a four-post rack of at least 28 inches depth.

How is the PERC H730 installed and which step is often missed?

Seat the card in the dedicated internal RAID slot, attach the two mini-SAS HD cables to the backplane, then enable the controller in the BIOS before creating any virtual disks.
