Dense 2U rack server with twenty-four drive bays

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 6-core processors at 2.4 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller. Twenty-four 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives deliver high-capacity storage in a compact rack footprint. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads needing many

The chassis targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes and other tasks that benefit from dense SAS capacity and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60. Buyers who require solid-state performance or more than two processor sockets should consider alternative platforms. The fixed 24-bay 2.5-inch layout also limits future expansion beyond the installed drives.

Twenty-four 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives on a single

This combination of drive count, spindle speed and RAID engine determines whether the system meets your throughput and redundancy requirements. The controller supports pass-through mode if software-defined storage is preferred. Verify that 10 K SAS latency and the 12 Gb/s SAS interface align with your application profile before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must I already have to install this 2U server?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and requires two 750 W hot-swap power supplies, so plan for two PDU outlets and adequate cooling clearance.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage my existing 6 Gb/s SAS drives alongside the installed 12 Gb/s disks?

Yes, the H730 supports mixed SAS speeds and will negotiate each drive at its native link rate while presenting a single logical volume to the OS.

How do I verify the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is responsive after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated management port, browse to the DHCP-assigned address, and confirm the login screen appears with full Enterprise licence features enabled.
