Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 6-core processors at 2.4 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays filled with 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for capacity-heavy workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high drive density and hardware RAID in a compact rack footprint, such as database nodes, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse storage tiers. The 24-bay chassis and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports support throughput-oriented deployments. Buyers who require solid-state media, more than two processor sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 RAID controller, which dictates both maximum raw capacity and the drive type the system can accept. Every drive slot is occupied by a 1.2 TB 10K SAS disk, so expansion requires removing existing drives or moving to a different chassis.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained throughput when all 24 drive bays are active?

The PERC H730 1GB controller manages 12Gb/s SAS links to 24x 1.2TB 10K drives; its 1GB cache and RAID overhead set the practical ceiling.

How loud and hot does the chassis get with dual 750W PSUs running 24/7?

Redundant 750W platinum supplies share load; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and CPU utilisation, so acoustics and heat scale with actual workload.

Which memory modules must already be on hand to reach the 1.5TB ceiling?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots populated with 8x 16GB RDIMMs at 2133MHz; adding 16x 128GB LRDIMMs would hit the 1.5TB maximum.
