Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-intensive workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, with a maximum capacity of 1.5 TB.

Suited for storage-heavy applications.

This server suits organisations that need dense internal storage and strong multi-threaded performance in a compact 2U form factor. The 24-bay chassis accepts 2.5-inch SAS drives and the PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require GPU-accelerated compute density or single-thread frequencies above 3.2 GHz should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis with PERC H730 RAID

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller, which delivers 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity and battery-backed cache. This combination determines whether the server can meet your capacity, redundancy and throughput requirements for transactional databases or virtualised storage tiers.

Questions about this item

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache module that typically lasts three to five years; plan to replace it when the iDRAC8 Enterprise console reports a degraded or failed battery status.

Which resource hits its ceiling first during continuous all-core workloads?

With two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs at 2.0 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo, sustained all-core turbo is limited by the 750 W platinum power supplies and the 2U chassis cooling capacity.

How loud and hot does the server run with 24 SAS drives spinning 24/7?

Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives plus dual 750 W PSUs generate significant heat; the redundant hot-swap fans ramp to high speed under load, producing noticeable rack-level noise.
