2U rack server with 24× 2.5" SAS bays

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount system fitted with two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz, each providing eight cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives populate every 2.5-inch bay, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the package.

Ideal for dense storage workloads

The 24-bay chassis and 12 Gb/s SAS controller suit databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that need high spindle count in 2U. Buyers who need all-flash speed, GPU compute or more than two sockets should look elsewhere, as the platform maxes out at two processors and the installed drives are 10K SAS HDDs.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery. This single component determines whether the 24 SAS drives can be arranged for the redundancy or throughput your application requires.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch drive bays accept my existing 3.5-inch SAS drives?

The chassis provides 24 bays sized for 2.5-inch drives only; 3.5-inch drives will not fit.

Can the H730 controller run my older 6 Gb/s SAS drives at full speed?

The controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA and will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s for legacy drives.

How can I verify the 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz memory is recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC 8 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS memory map; both will show 24 modules of 32 GB each at 2133 MHz.
