Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors deliver 20 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache drive the 24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum supplies, quad-port 1/10 GbE networking and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suits capacity-first workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high drive count and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. The two-socket limit and SATA SSD interface mean it will not serve workloads that demand more than two processors or SAS-attached flash. Buyers who need more than 24 bays or a different drive protocol should evaluate alternative chassis.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch layout populated entirely with 800 GB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H730 RAID controller. This density and drive interface determine whether the server matches the storage performance and capacity profile your application requires.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4 2133 MHz ECC RDIMMs work if I add them to the 24 slots alongside the installed 128 GB?

Yes, the server accepts DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules across all 24 slots up to a total of 1.5 TB.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller sees all 24 x 800 GB SSDs and the RAID array is healthy?

Check the controller BIOS at boot or use iDRAC8 Enterprise to view the virtual disk status and physical drive health.

Does the shipment include SFP+ transceivers for the X520 10 GbE ports and the rail kit for a 2U rack?

The rail kit and front bezel are included; SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports are not supplied and must be purchased separately.
