Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays and dual 18-core Xeon processors into a 2U rack chassis. It delivers 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management out of the box.

Virtualisation and database nodes

This server suits teams running dense virtualisation, VDI or database workloads that benefit from high core counts and large local flash capacity. The 24 installed 800GB SATA SSDs and quad-port 1GbE/10GbE networking support demanding I/O patterns. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch front loading

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis that fixes both storage density and physical footprint. All 24 bays are populated with 800GB SATA SSDs, so usable capacity and drive protocol are set before the server ships. Any expansion beyond these bays requires external enclosures or a different chassis.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory generation and form factor must I already have to expand the 128 GB installed in the 24 DIMM slots?

The server uses DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC RDIMMs; the 24 slots accept up to 1.5 TB total, so any added modules must match that specification.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the 24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs together with older 2.5-inch SATA drives I might keep?

Yes, the H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA drives across the 24 bays and handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so legacy SATA drives can join the array.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is responding after the server powers on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to its IP address, and the login screen should appear; successful login shows system health, firmware versions and sensor readings.
