Dense flash storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 SATA SSDs of 400 GB each into a 2U rack chassis, delivering high-capacity flash storage alongside dual 10-core Xeon processors and 256 GB of DDR4 memory. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration fits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from many parallel flash drives and redundant 750 W power supplies. Buyers who need GPU compute, more than 1.5 TB of memory or additional drive bays should look at other platforms.

24 drive bays decide fit

The 2.5-inch bay count is the single constraint that determines whether this chassis matches your storage design; the installed 400 GB SSDs and H730 controller are built around that density.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SATA SSDs in this R730xd work with my existing LGA 2011-3 workstation if I move them later?

The 24 installed 400GB SATA SSDs use the standard 2.5" SATA interface, so they will function in any system that accepts 2.5" SATA drives, independent of the server's LGA 2011-3 platform.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller is managing the 24 SSDs correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface or boot into the PERC H730 BIOS utility (Ctrl+R) to verify all 24 drives appear, the desired RAID level is active, and the controller battery shows a healthy status.

Which components are included in the box and what must I source separately for this R730xd?

The shipment includes the 2U chassis with 2x Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs, 256GB DDR4 RDIMMs, 24x 400GB SATA SSDs, H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC 8 Enterprise, 2x 750W PSUs, bezel, and Ready Rails. You must add an operating system, SFP+ transceivers for 10GbE ports, and a rack cabinet if not already available.
