Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for storage-dense workloads such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, while 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory provides a solid base for virtualisation.

Who this fits and who it doesn't

Organisations needing 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays, dual 10 GbE SFP+ plus dual 1 GbE ports and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 will find the configuration ready to deploy. Buyers who require more than two processors or more than 1.5 TB of memory capacity cannot expand this chassis further.

Deciding specification

The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the two installed 800 GB SATA SSDs and any additional drives across all 24 bays, making storage controller capability the key factor in choosing this system.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit are required for the 2U R730xd?

The server is a 2U rack unit that ships with ready rails for standard 4-post racks; verify your cabinet depth before mounting.

How do I install the PERC H730 controller and its battery, and what step is often missed?

Seat the H730 mini card in the dedicated storage slot, connect the battery pack, then enable the controller in BIOS before creating RAID volumes.

When will the 750 W power supplies or the H730 battery need replacement?

Both PSUs are hot-swap; replace a unit when its status LED turns amber, and swap the H730 battery every 3–5 years to preserve RAID cache.
