Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors and 64 GB of DDR4 memory provide compute density for storage-heavy workloads. The PERC H730 controller manages the installed 24 SSDs with hardware RAID and a battery-backed cache.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse clusters or high-performance computing data nodes that need large local flash capacity. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of RAM or more than two processor sockets should look at a larger platform.

24-bay 2.5-inch front layout

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front layout combined with the H730 controller; it determines how many drives you can address and which RAID levels are available without adding external enclosures.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller sees all 24 installed 800GB SSDs after power-on?

Open the controller BIOS or iDRAC8 Enterprise storage view; it should list 24 drives at 800GB each in a healthy state.

Which components ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, 64GB DDR4 (four 16GB modules), 24 x 800GB SATA SSDs, PERC H730 1GB controller, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, bezel and rails; no extra parts are required for basic operation.

Should I choose a configuration with more memory slots populated or add capacity later?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and currently uses four for 64GB; you can expand up to 1.5TB by filling the remaining 20 slots with compatible registered ECC modules.
