2U 24-bay SAS server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays wired for 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity. Two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver twenty-four cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, backed by 256 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC8 Enterprise and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Suits dense storage workloads

This configuration fits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes and HPC storage tiers that demand high spindle count in a 2U footprint. The twenty-four 600 GB 10 K SAS drives and twelve-core CPUs balance throughput and capacity for read-heavy applications. Buyers needing solid-state media, larger per-drive capacity or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The installed PERC H730 1 GB controller is the single component that defines which drive types, RAID levels and cache policies are supported. It handles SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gb/s, enables the full RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 stack and includes a battery-backed write cache. Confirm that your drive mix and redundancy requirements match this controller before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What rack and rails are required to mount the 2U R730xd?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for standard square-hole or threaded-hole cabinets.

Can the PERC H730 controller use the existing 600GB 10K SAS drives in a RAID array?

Yes, the H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the 24 installed 600GB SAS drives.

How do I confirm the two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors and 256GB DDR4 are detected after power-on?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise System Inventory or the BIOS POST screen; both will list two 12-core CPUs and 256GB of registered ECC memory.
