2U rack server with 24-bay SAS storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount system built for dense storage workloads. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors provide 28 total cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives deliver high-capacity rotational storage.

Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This server fits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or high-performance computing data nodes that need many drive bays and dual-processor throughput. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management simplify deployment. Organisations requiring solid-state latency or GPU accelerator support should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis determines drive

The 2U enclosure accepts up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, so the installed 300 GB 10K SAS disks can be replaced or expanded within the same form factor. Two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies and included rails and bezel complete the rack-ready package.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache; plan to replace the battery module every three to five years to maintain write-back performance.

What limits sustained throughput on the 24 × 300 GB 10 K SAS drives?

The 12 Gb/s SAS interface and 10 K spindle speed set the ceiling; sequential workloads will saturate the bus before the controller does.

How loud and hot does the R730xd get with both 750 W platinum PSUs loaded all day?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies and 24 drive bays push fan speeds high; expect data-centre noise levels and measurable rack heat under continuous load.
