Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drive bays into a two-rack-unit chassis with dual ten-core Xeon processors, sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID levels zero, one, five, six, ten, fifty and sixty. Dual 750-watt platinum supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete a platform built for database, virtualisation and high-throughput file workloads.

Suits capacity-first deployments

This configuration fits teams that need maximum spindle count and hardware RAID in a compact rack footprint, especially for data-warehouse nodes, VDI storage tiers or backup targets. Buyers who need more than twenty-four drive bays or who require solid-state media should look elsewhere.

Twenty-four 2.4 TB SAS drives decide capacity

The array delivers fifty-seven point six terabytes of raw ten-kay SAS storage behind a single 12 Gb/s controller, setting the total space and I/O ceiling for the workloads above.

Questions about this item

What throughput does the 12Gb/s SAS controller cap at for the 2.4TB drives?

The PERC H730 controller runs at 12Gb/s SAS, so each 2.4TB drive is limited by that 12Gb/s link in practice.

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U chassis need?

The server includes Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel; it fits a standard 2U rack opening and the rails mount in typical four-post cabinets.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and which step is often missed?

Two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors go into the LGA 2011-3 sockets and 64GB DDR4 fills four slots; the step often missed is enabling the RAID battery in the H730 BIOS before creating arrays.
