Dense 2U server for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays into a 2U rack chassis, providing high storage density for midsize and large enterprises. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 32 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing data nodes. 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots supports large in-memory datasets.

Sustained throughput with hardware RAID

The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, keeping 24 enterprise 800 GB SATA SSDs fed during continuous mixed read-write streams. Two 750 W platinum power supplies share load and allow hot-swap replacement without downtime. Quad-port networking with dual 1 GbE and dual 10 Gb SFP+ links maintains bandwidth under prolonged saturation.

24-bay 2.5-inch front panel decides fit

The chassis accommodates exactly 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drives; no 3.5-inch bays or additional internal slots are present. Buyers who need more than 24 drives or require 3.5-inch form-factor support must choose a different platform. Maximum memory capacity is 1.5 TB, so configurations beyond 768 GB need larger DIMMs and available slots.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual 750 watt platinum supplies draw when the R730xd runs 24/7?

Each supply is rated at 750 watt platinum efficiency; with two installed the system has redundant hot-swap power, so one unit can carry the full load while the other stays on standby, reducing per-supply heat output.

Which cables and drive carriers must I already have to populate all 24 front bays with the installed 800GB SATA SSDs?

The server ships with 24 Dell enterprise 800GB SATA 2.5" SSDs already mounted in the 24-bay chassis, so no additional drive carriers or SATA cables are required for the factory configuration.

Will the PERC H730 controller and X520/I350 network card work with my older PCIe 2.0 expansion cards and SATA 3Gb/s drives?

The H730 supports SAS and SATA at 12Gb/s and 6Gb/s respectively and is backward compatible with 3Gb/s SATA drives; the X520/I350 daughter card provides 10Gb SFP+ and 1GbE ports that negotiate down to legacy link speeds.
