Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors provide 20 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 RAID controller support twenty-four 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Fits Virtualisation And Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high drive counts in a 2U form factor. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of RAM or more than two sockets should consider larger platforms.

Twenty-Four Drive Bays With Hardware RAID

The chassis holds twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA SSDs behind the PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are available along with pass-through mode. This drive density and RAID flexibility decide whether the server matches a given storage capacity or redundancy requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with the 24 front bays already filled, or do I need to buy drives separately?

All 24 bays come populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs, so no additional drives are required for the full complement.

Is the installed 64 GB DDR4 the maximum, or can I add more modules later?

The board has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB, leaving 20 slots free for future expansion.

What RAID levels can the PERC H730 handle with the 24 installed SSDs?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, plus pass-through, giving flexible redundancy and performance choices.
