Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with six cores each, 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots, and a PERC H730 RAID controller managing 24 bays of 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Suited for storage-heavy deployments.

This configuration suits teams that need dense flash capacity and hardware RAID in a compact 2U form factor. The two-socket limit and six-core-per-socket design mean buyers who require higher core counts per processor or more than two sockets should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD capacity drives

The defining specification is the 24 x 800 GB SATA SSD array backed by the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the workload demands that many hot-swap flash drives in 2U, this server matches the requirement; if fewer bays or a different interface are needed, a different chassis will fit better.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750 Watt PSUs draw when the server runs a full load all day?

Each supply is rated at 750 Watt Platinum efficiency; the pair provides redundant hot-swap power for the 2U chassis.

Which cables and drive trays are needed to populate the 24 front bays with the installed 800GB SSDs?

The 24 x 800GB SATA SSDs ship already seated in the 2.5" hot-swap trays; no extra cables or trays are required.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage older SAS drives if I keep some from a previous array?

The H730 supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so legacy SAS disks are compatible.
