Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors deliver twenty-eight cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. Two hundred fifty-six gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Built for capacity-bound workloads

This server suits teams that need high drive counts for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles heavy east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than twenty-four bays, GPU compute sleds, or a different memory capacity should evaluate other platforms.

Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives

The array ships with twenty-four enterprise 600 GB 10K SAS disks on a 12 Gb/s backplane. That raw capacity and spindle speed determine whether the system meets your IOPS and throughput targets.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 SAS drives and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5" drive into the front bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disks in the PERC H730 BIOS before the OS sees any storage.

What maintenance or replacement will the server need later?

The PERC H730 battery backs the 1GB cache — plan to replace it when iDRAC 8 reports a degraded or failed battery state.

What limit appears first under sustained heavy I/O?

The 24x 600GB 10K SAS drives reach their combined throughput ceiling before the dual 14-core Xeons or 256GB DDR4 become bottlenecks.
