Dense 2U storage server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 bays of 2.5-inch SAS drives into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The PERC H730 controller manages the 24 installed 600 GB 10K disks in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Quad-port networking provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links.

Database and virtualisation teams

The 128 GB DDR4 2133 MHz ECC memory and high spindle count suit transactional databases, VDI clusters and HPC data nodes. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full remote control. Builders who need more memory channels, newer instruction sets or direct-attached PCIe flash should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The defining constraint is the 24 front-access drive bays wired to a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane. If the workload demands that many hot-swap spindles in 2U, this chassis matches; if fewer bays or a different form factor are required, the density advantage disappears.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750 W supplies draw when the server runs continuously?

Each supply is rated at 750 W with platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant design keeps the system running if one unit fails.

Which cables and drive carriers are required to populate the 24-bay front panel?

The 2.5" bays accept SAS or SATA drives with standard Dell carriers; the PERC H730 controller uses internal SAS cables that are already fitted inside the chassis.

Will the LGA 2011-3 Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors work with my existing DDR4-2133 ECC modules?

Yes, the installed 128 GB is 8×16 GB DDR4-2133 registered ECC; any additional modules must match that speed, rank and voltage to be recognised.
