Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis. Twenty-four 1.2 TB SAS drives sit behind a PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Dual 750 W platinum supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Ideal for capacity-bound workloads

Database nodes, virtual-desktop hosts and data-warehouse clusters benefit from the 24-bay density and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Shops that need all-flash speed, GPU acceleration or single-thread performance above 3.0 GHz should evaluate different configurations.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The 24 drive bays accept only 2.5-inch SAS or SATA devices and the PERC H730 operates at 12 Gb/s. Verify that your workload fits this bay count and interface before ordering.

Questions about this item

What storage throughput does the H730 controller support for the installed SAS drives?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so each 1.2TB 10K drive can run at up to 12Gb/s through the backplane.

What rack depth and mounting hardware are required for this 2U server?

Ready Rails are included for standard four-post racks; the 2U chassis fits typical cabinets with the supplied brackets.

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

The H730 Mini mono is factory-installed in the dedicated storage slot with its battery attached; the step often missed is enabling the controller battery in the BIOS before creating virtual disks.
