2U Rack Server With 24× 1.2TB SAS Drives

This new Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors. Each CPU provides 10 cores at 2.6 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 1 GB controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited For High-Density SAS Storage Nodes

The 24-bay chassis and dual 10-core CPUs make this server a match for database clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes that rely on SAS hard drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers who need solid-state media, a different drive interface or more than two processor sockets must select another model.

PERC H730 Controller With 1 GB Cache

The installed PERC H730 provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity and 1 GB of battery-backed cache. It enables the full range of RAID levels including pass-through mode, so the 24 installed drives can be arranged for capacity, redundancy or performance as the workload demands.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750-watt platinum supplies draw when the server runs 24/7?

Each supply is rated at 750 watts with platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair shares the load.

Which cabling and rail kit items come in the box so the unit can be racked immediately?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included; you supply the rack, power cords and any SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise the SAS backplane in an older PowerEdge chassis if I migrate the drives?

The H730 is a 12 Gb/s SAS controller designed for this 24-bay 2.5" backplane; compatibility with other chassis is not guaranteed.
