Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for capacity-heavy workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors deliver 20 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache.

Fits Database And Virtualisation Nodes

This configuration suits teams running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes that need many spindles in a compact rack footprint. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP+ daughter card provides flexible network connectivity. Buyers who need flash-only storage or GPU acceleration should look at a different platform.

24-Bay 2.5" SAS Chassis Decides Fit

The chassis accepts 24 front-access 2.5-inch SAS drives and ships with 300 GB 10 K rpm units installed. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported by the H730 controller. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1.5 TB when all 24 DIMM slots are populated. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the package.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rails does the 2U chassis require?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Ready Rails for mounting in a standard rack.

How are the 24 SAS drives installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; the RAID array must be configured in the PERC H730 BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

Which components will need replacement first in continuous operation?

The 24 enterprise 300 GB 10K SAS drives and the two 750 W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units.
