2U rack server with 24-bay SAS storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 8-core processors running at 2.60 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives.

Suits high-capacity storage nodes.

This server targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and dual-processor layout favour storage-heavy, multi-threaded applications. It is not for buyers who require GPU compute density or a single-socket configuration. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible networking.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730 RAID

The defining specification is the 24-drive 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. This combination delivers high raw capacity and hardware RAID flexibility in a 2U form factor. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management complete the platform. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for rack installation.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated, or do I need to buy additional 1.2TB SAS drives?

The unit includes 24x 1.2TB 10K SAS 2.5" hard drives pre-installed, so every bay is filled and no extra drives are required.

With 64GB installed across 24 DDR4 slots, which memory configuration leaves room for future expansion to the 1.5TB maximum?

The 64GB ships as 4x 16GB DDR4 2133MHz Registered ECC modules, leaving 20 empty slots for adding compatible DDR4 RDIMMs up to the 1.5TB limit.

How does the PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache affect RAID performance on the 24x 1.2TB SAS array?

The H730 1GB cache supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through, providing hardware-accelerated parity calculations and write-back caching across all 24 SAS drives.
