Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built for dense storage and compute. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 16-core processors at 2.1 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and 24 SATA SSDs of 400 GB each behind a PERC H730 controller.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration fits virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes and data-warehouse tasks that benefit from many drive bays and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports. Buyers needing more than 1.5 TB of RAM, more than two CPU sockets or drive interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate different platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD capacity

The chassis provides 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays fully populated with 400 GB enterprise SATA SSDs. That all-flash array behind the H730 RAID controller is the decisive factor for I/O-bound applications deciding on this server.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Dell PERC H730 controller is managing the 24x 400GB SSDs correctly after installation?

During POST, the H730 BIOS utility will display all 24 drives and their RAID status; you can also verify array health and drive state remotely through the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface.

What components are included and what must I source separately for this R730xd?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, 64GB DDR4 ECC memory (4x 16GB), H730 controller with battery, 24x 400GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, rails and bezel; you only need to add an operating system and any additional memory or drives.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I want to expand beyond the installed 64GB?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5TB; populate the remaining 20 slots with registered ECC DDR4 2400MHz modules in matched sets to maintain optimal performance and stability.
