Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays, dual 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage layers.

Virtualisation and database nodes

Organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse clusters or high-performance compute data nodes can saturate the 24 SAS spindles and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports without expanding to a larger rack footprint. Buyers who require more than 1.5 TB of RAM, more than two sockets or solid-state media support should evaluate other platforms.

Twenty-four 600 GB 10 K SAS drives

The configuration ships with 24 enterprise 600 GB 10 K SAS drives delivering raw capacity and spindle speed that determine whether the array meets random I/O targets for transactional workloads.

Questions about this item

Will the LGA 2011-3 socket Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors work with my existing DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory modules?

Yes, the installed 64GB consists of four 16GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC DIMMs, so your matching modules will be compatible.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller sees all twenty-four 600GB 10K SAS drives after installation?

During POST the H730 BIOS will list each physical drive; you can also open the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface and check the storage inventory for all twenty-four bays.

Does the shipment include SFP+ transceivers for the X520 10Gb ports, or must I purchase them separately?

The box contains the server, two 750W platinum power supplies, ready rails and front bezel; SFP+ transceivers for the 10Gb SFP+ ports are not included and must be bought separately.
