Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built around two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors at 2.0 GHz with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays driven by a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise management are included.

Storage-Heavy Virtualisation Target

It suits teams running databases, VDI clusters or HPC data nodes that need many local drives and hardware RAID in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who need fewer drive bays, single-socket density or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Constraint

The defining limit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the H730 controller; confirm that your workload fits within SAS or SATA drives and the available PCIe expansion before committing.

Questions about this item

How much rack height does the 2U PowerEdge R730xd require and are rails included?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for standard square-hole or round-hole cabinets.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and the 128GB DDR4 memory?

Install both CPUs first, then populate the 24 DIMM slots following the per-socket channel sequence in the service manual; the common error is filling slots on only one processor.

Which components are hot-swappable and what replacement interval applies to the PERC H730 battery?

The 24 drive trays, both 750W power supplies and system fans are hot-swappable; the RAID controller battery typically lasts three to five years before replacement.
