24-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4 GHz six-core processors and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Ideal for storage-dense workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high local storage capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure or database nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible integration. It is not for buyers who need solid-state drive performance, more than two processor sockets, or GPU accelerator support.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The single specification that decides fit is the Dell PERC H730 1 GB 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with battery-backed cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, determining the data protection and performance profile of the twenty-four installed drives.

Questions about this item

What rack hardware is included with the Dell PowerEdge R730xd for mounting in a standard rack?

The server ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for 2U rack installation.

How are the 24 SAS hard drives installed in the chassis, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front 2.5-inch bays; the PERC H730 controller must be configured for RAID before the array is initialised.

Which components in this server are hot-swappable and may need replacement during its service life?

The 24 SAS drives, two 750 W power supplies and system fans are hot-swappable; memory and CPUs require a shutdown.
