Dense 2U storage node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory drive virtualised workloads, databases and data-intensive applications. Integrated H730 controller and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking complete the platform.

Upgrade from limited bays

Moving from a server with fewer drive slots or an older RAID controller lets you scale capacity without adding racks. The jump is worth it when storage density and 12 Gb/s SAS throughput become bottlenecks for growing datasets.

Steady throughput under load

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies and hot-swap cooling maintain consistent performance during sustained I/O. The H730 battery-backed cache protects writes across long rebuilds or heavy transaction streams. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote monitoring without host dependency.

Questions about this item

What rack depth do the included rails support for this 2U server?

The supplied ready rails mount in standard four-post racks and adjust to common depths; verify your cabinet’s rail-to-rail measurement before installation.

Which slot does the PERC H730 controller occupy and what cabling step is often missed?

The H730 mini plugs into the dedicated internal storage slot; the battery module must be seated and its cable connected to the controller for RAID cache protection.

How many DIMM slots remain free for future memory expansion beyond the 512 GB installed?

Sixteen 32 GB modules fill 16 of the 24 DDR4 slots, leaving 8 slots available up to the 1.5 TB maximum.
