Dense 2U Storage Node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two 14-core Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors at 2.4 GHz, 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots, and a PERC H730 controller driving 24 front-accessible 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, an X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, rails and bezel complete the package for data-intensive workloads.

Virtualisation And Database Hosts

Organisations running large virtual desktop farms, data-warehouse clusters or high-performance computing data nodes will match the heavy core count, deep memory ceiling and raw SAS throughput. Buyers who need direct-attached flash tiers, GPU-accelerated compute or single-thread frequency above 3.3 GHz turbo should evaluate alternative platforms, as the chassis and controller are designed for SAS and SATA media.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front plane wired to a 12 Gb/s H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. This density and controller combination determines whether the system fits the required storage footprint and IOPS profile.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with 24 × 2.4 TB SAS drives and the PERC H730 controller installed, or must I buy them separately?

The system ships with 24 Dell Enterprise 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives and a PERC H730 1 GB controller already fitted; no additional storage parts are required.

Should I choose the 768 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to add memory later?

768 GB is provided as 24 × 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules filling every slot; the board supports up to 1.5 TB, so expansion would require replacing existing DIMMs.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 24 × 2.4 TB SAS array on the H730 controller?

The 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and H730 RAID engine deliver full 10 K spindle speed across 24 drives, sustaining high sequential and random I/O for databases, VDI and HPC data-node workloads.
