Questions about this item

How do I install drives in the 10x 2.5" bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5" drive into a tray until it clicks, then insert the tray into one of the 10 bays. The step often missed is creating a virtual disk in the H730P controller BIOS before the OS sees the array.

What maintenance or replacement will the H730P RAID controller need later?

The H730P controller uses a cache backup battery or supercapacitor that typically needs replacement every 3 to 5 years to protect write cache during power loss.

What limit appears first under sustained load with the dual Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs?

The 24 cores per processor at 2.40GHz will hit thermal throttling before memory bandwidth saturates, especially when all 40 cores run at full turbo for extended periods.
