Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U server for dense storage

This 2U rack server combines dual 14-core Xeon processors with 64 GB of DDR4 memory and twelve 8 TB hard drives. The PERC H730 controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits workloads needing high drive count in 2U

Virtualisation hosts, database nodes and backup targets benefit from the twelve 3.5-inch bays and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking. Buyers who need solid-state storage or more than two CPU sockets should consider other platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache

The storage controller supports SAS and SATA drives across all twelve bays and enables the full range of RAID levels listed above. This single component determines whether the array topology you require can be built.

Questions about this item

How often will the 12 installed 8 TB SATA drives need replacement?

Enterprise SATA drives rated at 7.2 K RPM are built for continuous operation; plan on swapping any drive that SMART reports as degraded or after the vendor-rated MTBF interval.

What limits sustained throughput on the H730 controller first?

The PERC H730 1 GB cache and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA link set the ceiling; sustained writes will saturate the controller cache before the 12-drive array reaches its raw bandwidth.

How much heat and noise do the dual 750 W platinum PSUs produce under all-day load?

Two 750 W platinum units share the load efficiently, keeping fan speeds lower than single-supply designs; expect typical rack-grade acoustics and heat output proportional to actual draw.
