Capacity and compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high local storage and dual-socket compute in a compact form factor. Two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors deliver 16 cores at 2.60 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo, while 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules provides a large in-memory footprint. The PERC H730 controller manages 24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs for fast, redundant storage arrays.

Storage-focused workloads and virtualization

This configuration suits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from 24 hot-swap drive bays and quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, greater memory capacity than 1.5 TB, or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the H730 controller. It determines how many drives you can install, which RAID levels are supported and whether your existing SATA SSDs or HDDs are compatible.

Questions about this item

Do I need to provide my own SFP+ transceivers for the 10GbE ports on the Intel X520/I350 daughter card?

Yes, the X520/I350 card uses SFP+ cages for 10GbE links, so compatible SFP+ modules or direct-attach cables must be supplied separately.

Can I keep my existing SATA SSDs and let the PERC H730 manage them alongside the installed 800GB drives?

The H730 controller supports mixed SATA SSD capacities in the same chassis, so your current SATA SSDs can be added and configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I verify the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after the server boots?

During POST the iDRAC IP address appears on screen; browse to that address and log in with the default credentials to confirm the Enterprise licence is applied.
