2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6GHz, each providing 8 cores. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16GB modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays come populated with 300GB 10K SAS hard drives.

Suits High-Capacity SAS Storage Needs

This configuration fits buyers who need large quantities of SAS storage in a compact 2U form factor. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1GB battery-backed cache. Quad-port networking provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need solid-state speed or more than 1.5TB of memory should look elsewhere.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis Decides Fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis limited to SAS and SATA drives. All 24 bays are filled with 300GB 10K SAS drives delivering 12Gb/s throughput. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1.5TB across 24 DDR4 slots. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. If the workload requires a different drive interface or a smaller chassis, this server will not match.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput does the H730 controller deliver with 24 SAS drives installed?

The PERC H730 1GB controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA links and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through, so the 24 included 300GB 10K drives can saturate the controller bandwidth in heavy read workloads.

What network speeds are available from the daughter card?

The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1GbE ports and two 10Gb SFP+ ports for mixed copper and fibre connectivity.

How much memory can be added beyond the 64GB already installed?

Twenty-four DDR4 slots are fitted and four are occupied by 16GB registered ECC modules, leaving twenty slots free to reach the 1.5TB maximum capacity.
