24-bay rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors run at 1.6 GHz with six cores each. 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed, leaving room to reach the 768 GB maximum. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA drives. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide remote console access.

PERC H730 and 10 GbE networking expand I/O options

The H730 RAID controller supports SAS and SATA drives with hardware RAID levels. A dual-port Intel X540 10 GbE adapter plus two 1 GbE ports handle high-throughput network traffic. Dual 1100 W power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation. No drives are included, so storage capacity and performance depend entirely on the disks you add. Rail kits are available separately for rack mounting.

Tool-less rails and iDRAC simplify deployment

The server slides into a standard rack using optional tool-less rails that lock without screws. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote power, BIOS and firmware updates over a dedicated management port. Firmware is pre-loaded to the latest stable release before shipment. The 24-drive backplane cables route cleanly, but careful drive-carrier alignment avoids bent SAS connectors during initial population.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays can I populate before I need to add a second RAID controller or expander?

The chassis provides 24 front bays; the installed PERC H730 SAS controller manages all 24 SATA or SAS drives directly.

Which component hits its ceiling first when the dual 1.6 GHz Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors run at 100 % for hours?

The two six-core CPUs reach their thermal design limit before the 1100 W power supplies or the 384 GB DDR4 memory subsystem become bottlenecks.

What is the typical power draw at the wall when both 1100 W supplies are loaded by 24 drives and full CPU utilisation?

Under sustained full load the redundant 1100 W supplies typically draw several hundred watts total; exact consumption varies with drive mix and workload.
