Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors provide twenty-eight cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills sixteen slots. A PERC H730 controller manages the installed 400 GB SATA SSDs.

Virtualisation And Database Nodes

This server suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse workloads or high-performance computing nodes that need dense flash capacity. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of RAM, more than twenty-four bays, or a different drive interface should look elsewhere.

Twenty-Four 400 GB SATA SSDs

The chassis holds exactly twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drives of 400 GB each. The PERC H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Verify that your workload fits within this fixed drive count and SATA interface before ordering.

Questions about this item

What SAS and SATA speeds does the PERC H730 controller support?

The Dell PERC H730 mini controller handles 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through modes.

What rack depth and mounting style do the included rails need?

Ready Rails for this 2U server mount in a standard four-post rack; the sliding rails lock into square or threaded holes and need enough cabinet depth for the chassis to slide fully.

How is the H730 RAID controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730 mini card seats in the dedicated internal storage slot; the battery-backed cache module must be snapped onto the controller before the first boot or RAID arrays will not initialise.
