  • Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 6-core CPUs deliver strong multi-thread performance
  • 256GB DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC memory supports large virtualised workloads
  • PERC H730 1GB controller enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with battery-backed cache
  • 24-bay 2.5" chassis holds 600GB 10K SAS drives for high-capacity storage density
  • iDRAC8 Enterprise plus X520/I350 quad-port 1GbE/10GbE SFP+ provides remote management and fast networking

Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays into a 2U rack chassis, driven by two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz with 6 cores each and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It targets organisations that need high drive counts for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or HPC data nodes in limited rack space.

SAS 12 Gb/s Controller Limits

The PERC H730 controller operates at 12 Gb/s over SAS and SATA, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Throughput is bounded by the 12 Gb/s link and the 10 K rpm mechanical drives; the 1 GB cache helps burst writes but sustained performance follows spindle speed.

Rail Install With Cable Discipline

Ready Rails slide the 2U unit into standard racks, yet the 24 drive carriers and quad-port network daughter card leave little room for cable routing at the rear. Installers should dress power and SFP+ cables before sliding the server home, and verify iDRAC 8 Enterprise network settings before closing the rack door.
