Dense 2U server for storage workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors and 512GB of DDR4 memory provide the compute base for data-intensive roles such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing nodes.

Not for all-flash or single-socket needs

Buyers who want an all-flash array should look elsewhere because the configuration ships with twenty-four 2.4TB 10K SAS hard drives and no SSDs. Organisations that require only one processor socket or less than 1.5TB maximum memory capacity will find the dual-socket design and 24 DIMM slots oversized.

PERC H730 controller defines RAID options

The installed Dell PERC H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, so the choice of RAID level is the single specification that determines whether this server matches the storage resilience plan.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated or do I need to buy drives separately?

The unit includes 24x 2.4TB 10K SAS 2.5" enterprise hard drives pre-installed, so every bay is filled on arrival.

Which memory configuration matches the listed 512GB capacity?

It comes with 16x 32GB DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC modules occupying 16 of the 24 DIMM slots.

What sustained throughput can the PERC H730 controller deliver with the installed 24x 2.4TB SAS drives in RAID 10?

The H730 12Gb/s controller supports RAID 10 across all 24 drives, providing high read/write bandwidth for database and virtualisation workloads.
