2U rack server with 24 SATA SSDs

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA solid-state drives are installed across the front bays.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from high drive counts and hardware RAID. Buyers needing more than two processor sockets, larger individual drive capacities or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache

The integrated Dell PERC H730 storage controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with a 1 GB battery-backed cache. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, determining how the 24 installed SSDs can be arranged for performance or redundancy.

Questions about this item

When do the 24 SATA SSDs need replacement?

The 24 x 400 GB SATA SSDs have no published endurance figure; plan replacement when SMART wear indicators approach the vendor threshold.

What limits sustained throughput first?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane set the ceiling before the dual 10 Gb SFP+ links saturate.

How loud and hot is it with both 750 W PSUs loaded all day?

Dual 750 W Platinum supplies share load efficiently; expect typical rack-mount fan noise and exhaust heat proportional to actual draw, not peak rating.
