Dense 2U storage server

The PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo, while 768 GB of DDR4-2133 ECC memory fills all 24 DIMM slots. The PERC H730 controller manages the 24 installed 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives across multiple RAID levels.

Check drive count and CPU socket

Verify that your rack can supply the 2U height and that the LGA 2011-3 socket matches your spares inventory. The system ships with two 750 W platinum power supplies in a redundant hot-swap arrangement. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management without additional licensing.

Sustained throughput on 10K SAS

Under continuous load the 10K SAS spindles deliver steady IOPS for databases, VDI and HPC data-node workloads. The H730 battery-backed cache absorbs write bursts while the dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports keep network pipes full. Redundant power supplies and hot-swap drives let you replace components without downtime during extended operations.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated or do I need to buy extra 2.4 TB SAS drives?

The unit includes 24 Dell Enterprise 2.4 TB 10 K SAS 12 Gb/s 2.5" hard drives already installed, so every bay is filled and no additional drives are required.

Should I choose the 768 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1.5 TB maximum?

The system arrives with 768 GB (24 × 32 GB) DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC using all 24 slots; to exceed this you must replace modules with higher-capacity DDR4 RDIMMs.

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

The PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 at 12 Gb/s SAS; sustained throughput will depend on the RAID level chosen and the 10 K spindle speed of the installed drives.
