Dual-socket rack server for dense storage workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd packs two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.40 GHz with 12 total cores, 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots, and a PERC H730 controller driving 24 SAS hard drives in a 2U chassis.

Suits teams needing maximum drive bays in 2U

The 24-bay chassis fits organisations that prioritise local storage density over GPU acceleration. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of RAM or more than two sockets should look elsewhere.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The onboard H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, so the single specification that decides fit is whether your workload requires hardware RAID across 24 SAS drives.

Questions about this item

Will the 768 GB DDR4 memory need expansion and how many slots remain open?

The system holds 768 GB across 24 slots with a 1.5 TB maximum so all slots are populated; adding capacity means replacing existing modules.

What limits sustained write throughput on the 24 × 2.4 TB SAS array?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller runs at 12 Gb/s SAS and the 10 K drives set the sustained write ceiling.

How much heat and noise do the dual 750 W platinum supplies and 24 drives produce under 24/7 load?

Two 750 W platinum units and twenty-four 10 K SAS drives generate significant heat and fan noise; plan for robust rack cooling.
