Dense 2U compute and storage node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises that run data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. It delivers 44 total cores across two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory in 16 slots and 24 front-access 2.5-inch SATA SSDs of 400 GB each behind a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server fits teams that need high core counts, large memory capacity and dense SATA flash in a single 2U chassis with redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, quad-port networking (two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+) and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who require more than 24 drive bays, more than 1.5 TB of memory or a different drive interface should consider other platforms.

The specification that decides fit

The 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the PERC H730 RAID controller defines whether this chassis matches your storage topology; it supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the installed 400 GB SSDs.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller and all 24 400GB SSDs are recognised after first boot?

Open the PERC H730 BIOS utility or iDRAC8 Enterprise storage view; both should list 24 drives and show the 1GB cache battery as healthy.

Which items ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The unit includes 2× Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs, 16× 32GB DDR4 modules, 24× 400GB SATA SSDs, H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, 2× 750W PSUs, rails and bezel; nothing else is required for basic operation.

Is the installed 512GB DDR4 the maximum or can I add more later?

512GB fills 16 of 24 slots; the C610 chipset supports up to 1.5TB, so 8 additional DDR4 RDIMMs can be added when workloads grow.
