Dense 2U compute and storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each with 22 cores at 2.2 GHz, and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H730 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ networking, plus rails and bezel complete the configuration.

Suited to storage-heavy workloads

This server fits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes and other tasks that benefit from high core counts and all-flash capacity in a compact rack footprint. It is not for buyers who need more than 24 drive bays, GPU acceleration, or memory beyond the 1.5 TB maximum supported by the platform.

PERC H730 RAID flexibility

The installed PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the 24 SATA SSDs with full hardware RAID levels including pass-through, letting administrators tune redundancy and performance for the target application.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller sees all 24 SSDs after first boot?

Open the controller BIOS during POST or log into iDRAC8 Enterprise and confirm 24 drives of 400GB each appear in the physical disk list with optimal status.

What ships with the server and what must be sourced separately?

Included are 2× Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs, 8× 16GB DDR4 RDIMMs, 24× 400GB SATA SSDs, H730 controller with battery, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, 2× 750W PSUs, rails and bezel; add OS licences and any extra memory or drives you need.

Which memory configuration matches the listed 128GB?

The system arrives with eight 16GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules filling 8 of 24 slots; choose this version when you want the factory 128GB baseline and room to grow to 1.5TB.
