HDD 24 x 600GB 10K SAS

  • Dual 18-core Xeon processors at 2.3 GHz handle intensive workloads
  • 512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory supports large virtual environments
  • 24 SAS drives at 600 GB each provide high-capacity local storage
  • PERC H730 controller with battery enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
  • Quad-port network card adds 2× 1 GbE and 2× 10 Gb SFP+ connectivity

Built for data-intensive workloads

The 2U rack server combines two 18-core Xeon processors at 2.3 GHz with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 modules, delivering dense compute and memory capacity for virtualization, databases and high-performance computing nodes.

Storage and networking bundle

Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, while a quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links and iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Interface and expansion limits

The 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and C610 chipset cap drive throughput at 12 Gb/s per port, memory tops out at 1.5 TB across 24 slots, and the dual 750 W platinum supplies set the power ceiling for any additional PCIe cards.

Questions about this item

What drive maintenance or replacement should I expect later?

The 24 × 600 GB 10 K SAS drives are mechanical; plan to swap any that develop read errors or fail SMART checks.

Which limit appears first under sustained load?

The PERC H730 1 GB cache and 12 Gb/s SAS lanes saturate before the dual 18-core Xeons reach full utilisation.

How much noise, heat or power does it draw running all day?

Two 750 W platinum PSUs feed the system; actual draw scales with CPU turbo up to 3.6 GHz and 24 spinning drives.
