Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four drive bays and dual 14-core Xeon processors into a 2U rack chassis. It is built for workloads that need high local capacity and plenty of compute threads in a compact footprint.

Suits capacity-focused workloads

This configuration fits database nodes, virtual-desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse tiers that benefit from many 10K SAS spindles and a large memory pool. It is not for teams that require all-flash latency or GPU-accelerated compute.

PERC H730 hardware RAID

The integrated PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the twenty-four 1.2 TB SAS drives across RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This single controller decision determines both data protection options and rebuild performance.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5-inch model or a different bay count?

This unit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch configuration with 24 installed 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives; no other bay-count variant is described in the listing.

What does the 2.0 GHz base clock mean when the server is running a heavy workload?

The two Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors run at 2.0 GHz base and can turbo to 3.0 GHz, giving 28 total cores for compute-intensive tasks such as databases or HPC.

How fast is the SAS interface on the PERC H730 controller and what does that limit in practice?

The PERC H730 is a 12 Gb/s SAS controller, so each 1.2 TB drive is limited to that 12 Gb/s link speed for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 arrays.
