Dual-socket 2U rack server for data-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 drive bays and two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors into a 2U chassis. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and 24 enterprise 1.2TB 10K SAS drives. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes.

Hot-swap bays, redundant power and rail mounting

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS bays sit behind the front bezel for tool-less drive changes. Dual 750W platinum power supplies share load and can be swapped without shutdown. Ready Rails lock the unit into standard racks and the PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

24-bay density decides fit for storage-heavy roles

The single specification that determines suitability is the 24-drive capacity in 2U. Buyers who need more bays per rack unit must choose a denser platform. Buyers who need fewer bays can select a smaller chassis and save space. The quad-port 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ daughter card handles network traffic for the installed drives.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS controller support?

The PERC H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, with a 1GB cache backed by battery.

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U R730xd require?

The server includes Dell Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in standard 4-post racks; verify your rack depth matches the rail specification before installation.

How are the 24 front 2.5" drives installed and what is the common mistake?

Drives slide into the hot-swap bays until the latch clicks; the common error is not seating the carrier fully so the SAS connector does not engage.
