24-Bay 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U chassis. Two Xeon E5-2650L v4 processors run at 1.7 GHz with 14 cores each. 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory fills the maximum capacity. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage.

Dense Storage Workloads

This configuration suits archives, backup targets and software-defined storage that benefit from high drive density and large memory. Buyers who need more than two processors or memory beyond 768 GB should look at a different platform.

PERC H730 RAID Controller

The installed PERC H730 handles SAS and SATA drives with hardware RAID. It determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported. Buyers requiring a different controller feature set must select another system.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat will the dual 1100W supplies and two 14-core 1.7 GHz Xeons produce under continuous load?

The server ships with two 1100W power supplies and two 14-core Xeon E5-2650L v4 processors running at 1.7 GHz; Dell does not publish acoustic or thermal figures for this configuration, so exact noise and heat output under sustained load are not available from the manufacturer.

Which drive caddies and backplane cables must I already have to populate the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis?

The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis uses Dell-specific drive carriers and SAS/SATA backplane cabling; neither caddies nor cables are included, so you must source the correct Dell carriers and cables for the R730xd before installing any drives.

Can the installed PERC H730 controller manage older 3 Gbps SATA drives I want to reuse?

The PERC H730 SAS controller supports SATA drives and will negotiate link speed automatically, so legacy 3 Gbps SATA drives can be used behind this controller.
