Dense 2U server for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo into a 2U chassis. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and 24 enterprise 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730 controller. This density targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing data nodes.

Rail kit and hot-swap bays simplify deployment

The included ready rails let the unit slide into a standard rack without extra hardware. All 24 drive bays and both 750 W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable, so failed components can be replaced without downtime. The PERC H730 battery-backed cache protects writes during unexpected power loss. Installers should verify that the rack supplies enough airflow for the 2U form factor and that the SFP+ modules match the X520/I350 daughter card.

SATA SSD throughput and 1.5 TB memory ceiling

The 24 SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs share the controller’s 12 Gb/s SAS backplane, so sequential throughput is bounded by the SATA interface rather than the drive count. RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported, but rebuild times grow with 800 GB capacities. Memory can expand to 1.5 TB using the remaining DDR4 slots, yet the LGA 2011-3 platform caps CPU upgrades at the two installed processors.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is managing the 24 x 800GB SSDs correctly after installation?

Open the PERC H730 BIOS utility during boot or use the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface to confirm all 24 drives appear in the expected RAID virtual disks with optimal status and no foreign configurations.

Which components are included and what must be sourced separately for this R730xd?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, 768GB DDR4 ECC memory, 24 x 800GB SATA SSDs, PERC H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, bezel and rails; operating system licences and SFP+ transceivers are not included.

Is the installed 768GB DDR4 configuration the maximum or can I expand toward the 1.5TB limit?

The system has 24 DIMM slots and currently uses 24 x 32GB modules for 768GB; to reach the 1.5TB maximum you would need to replace modules with higher-capacity DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs.
