Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.4 TB SAS drives and dual 14-core Xeon processors into a 2U rack chassis. It delivers 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 controller for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links is included, managed through iDRAC 8 Enterprise.

Ideal for Capacity-Heavy Workloads

This configuration suits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that prioritise raw spindle capacity and redundant power. Buyers who need solid-state speed, GPU compute density or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The defining constraint is the twenty-four-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane coupled with the H730 controller; it dictates drive count, interface and RAID options for the deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections does this 2U server require?

The unit occupies 2U in a standard rack and includes two 750 Watt redundant hot-swap power supplies.

Will my existing SAS drives work with the PERC H730 controller in this system?

The Dell PERC H730 1GB controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors and 256GB DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Use the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface or the system BIOS to verify both 14-core CPUs at 2.0GHz and all 256GB of registered ECC memory are detected.
