Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.40 GHz, each with six cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730 controller manages up to 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suits storage-heavy virtualization

This server fits environments that need high drive capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, or HPC data nodes. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise simplify remote management and uptime. Buyers who require more than 1.5 TB of RAM or more than two processor sockets should look at larger platforms. The installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives offer low latency but limited raw capacity per spindle.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage subsystem centers on the Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB of battery-backed cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage stacks. The controller connects to a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane serving all 24 bays. This specification determines whether the server can meet your redundancy, throughput and drive-count requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5" version or a smaller bay count for this R730xd?

The 24-bay 2.5" chassis supports up to 24 SAS or SATA drives and the PERC H730 handles RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so select it when you need maximum drive density in 2U.

What does the 2.4 GHz Xeon E5-2620 v3 actually deliver in this server?

Two 6-core processors run at 2.4 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, giving 12 cores and 24 threads for virtualization, databases or HPC data-node workloads.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS interface limit real-world throughput with the H730?

The PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS controller connects to 10K SAS drives; each drive tops out near 12 Gb/s, while the controller battery backs cache for RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.
