Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. Two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors deliver 44 cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies 16 of 24 slots. The PERC H730 controller manages 12 front-access 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays.

Virtualisation Hosts Not Needing PCIe Slots

This configuration suits teams running databases, VDI or HPC data nodes that prioritise internal drive count over expansion cards. The quad-port X520/I350 daughter card supplies two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE links. Dual 750 W platinum supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise simplify remote operations. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, more PCIe slots or a smaller 1U footprint should look elsewhere.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays

The single specification that decides fit is the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis. Each tray accepts SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs with no drives included. Maximum memory reaches 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots when the workload grows.

Questions about this item

What type and speed of DDR4 memory must already be installed to reach the 512 GB capacity?

The system uses 16 registered ECC DDR4 modules at 2400 MHz, each 32 GB, filling 16 of the 24 available slots to provide 512 GB total.

Will the PERC H730 controller and 3.5-inch trays accept the SAS and SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the H730 1 GB controller supports SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, and the 12 trays fit 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives.

How can I confirm the X520/I350 network card is operating at 10 Gb SFP+ speeds after installation?

Connect SFP+ transceivers and cables, then verify the link shows 10 GbE in the OS network settings or in iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface.
