2U rack server with 24 SATA SSDs

This DELL PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two 14-core Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors at 2.0GHz and 256GB of DDR4 memory. Twenty-four 800GB SATA SSDs connect through a PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for dense storage workloads

The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and quad-port network card with two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ links suit virtual desktop infrastructure, database or data-warehouse nodes that need high capacity in a 2U form factor. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or a different drive interface should look at a different platform.

PERC H730 RAID controller decides fit

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H730 with 1GB battery-backed cache, providing 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity and the full range of RAID levels listed above. If the application requires a different controller feature set or external HBA connectivity, this server will not match that requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must be available for this 2U server with dual 750 W supplies?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and includes two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies, so you need a 2U slot and two independent PDU feeds for full redundancy.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the installed 800 GB SATA SSDs together with older SAS drives I might keep?

Yes, the H730 1 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA, allowing the 24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs to share a virtual disk with legacy SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How do I confirm the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and 256 GB of DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface or the BIOS System Information screen; both will show two 14-core CPUs at 2.0 GHz (3.2 GHz turbo) and 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory.
