Purpose-built dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor SAS bays into a 2U rack frame, giving buyers who need maximum drive count per rack unit a compact platform. Dual Xeon E5-2650v4 processors and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide the compute and memory bandwidth to keep those drives fed.

Sustained throughput under load

Two 12-core CPUs at 2.2GHz with 30MB cache each maintain steady performance across all 24 bays during long backup windows or database scans. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID without becoming a bottleneck, while 10GbE and 1GbE network interfaces keep data moving to the rest of the infrastructure.

Thermal and power profile

Redundant 1100W supplies share the load, and the chassis airflow design keeps component temperatures stable during continuous operation. Integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management lets administrators monitor thermals, power draw and fan speeds without being in the data centre.

Questions about this item

How much power will the two 1100W supplies draw when the R730xd runs at full load all day?

Each supply is rated at 1100W; actual draw depends on the drives and workload you install.

Which drive trays and caddies do I need to populate the 24 SFF bays?

The chassis accepts 24 x 2.5-inch SAS drives; matching Dell caddies are required for each bay.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage a mix of existing SAS drives and new ones I add?

Yes, the H730 supports SAS drives across all 24 bays and can combine existing and new disks in the same array.
