2U rack server for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs fill the 2.5-inch drive bays, providing high-capacity flash storage in a compact form factor.

Dense flash capacity with dual 14-core CPUs

This configuration suits environments that need large amounts of SATA solid-state storage paired with strong multi-threaded compute, such as database nodes, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse workloads. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need PCIe-attached flash or more than 24 drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane

The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays wired for SATA and SAS through the PERC H730 controller, which supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This bay count and interface combination determines how many drives can be installed and what drive protocols are usable without additional hardware.

Questions about this item

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

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and requires two separate power circuits for the redundant 750 W platinum-efficiency supplies.

Can the existing PERC H730 controller manage the 24 installed 400 GB SATA SSDs together with older SAS drives I might add?

Yes, the H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through for mixed SATA and SAS drives in the 24-bay backplane.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after the server powers on?

During POST the iDRAC8 Enterprise IP address appears on the front-panel LCD; you can then log in via browser to verify full remote access.
