Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for capacity-heavy workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors provide 16 cores each at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730 controller driving 24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Suited for data-intensive nodes

This configuration fits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing data nodes that need large flash capacity in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who need more storage bays or a different drive interface should look at other platforms. Workloads that require GPU acceleration or specialised fabric interconnects are not addressed by this chassis.

24-bay 2.5-inch drive chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive chassis paired with the H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination decides whether the server can meet the density and redundancy requirements of the target deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1GHz 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors work with my existing LGA 2011-3 motherboard?

The server uses LGA 2011-3 sockets and supports up to two processors; your board must share the same socket and chipset to accept these CPUs.

How can I verify the 128GB DDR4 2400MHz memory is running correctly after installation?

Check the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface or system BIOS; both will report 128GB of registered ECC DDR4 at the configured speed.

Which components come pre-installed in the 24-bay 2.5" chassis and what must I add?

The unit ships with dual 750W PSUs, bezel, rails, 24 installed 800GB SSDs, PERC H730 controller, quad-port X520/I350 network card and iDRAC 8 Enterprise; no further parts are required for basic operation.
