High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage and compute in a single chassis. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.40 GHz with 14 cores, and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The system includes a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and twenty-four 300 GB 10 K SAS drives.

Suited for virtualisation and data nodes

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data warehouses or high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need solid-state primary storage or a single-socket platform should evaluate other options.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS drive capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 300 GB SAS hard drives on a 12 Gb/s PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This layout determines how much rotational storage fits in 2U and whether the I/O profile matches the workload.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated or do I need to buy additional 300GB SAS drives?

The system includes 24 Dell Enterprise 300GB 10K SAS 12Gb/s 2.5" hard drives pre-installed, filling every bay; no extra drives are required.

Should I choose the 768GB DDR4 configuration or plan to expand toward the 1.5TB maximum later?

768GB is already installed across 24 slots as 24x 32GB DDR4 2400MHz Registered ECC modules; further expansion would require removing existing DIMMs because all slots are occupied.

What does the PERC H730 1GB controller’s 12Gb/s SAS rating mean for real-world throughput with these 10K drives?

The controller supports 12Gb/s SAS lanes and RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, but sustained throughput will be limited by the 24x 300GB 10K SAS drives’ mechanical performance rather than the controller’s peak bandwidth.
