Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that need large local capacity and high core counts. It ships with two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores each and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The chassis holds 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 300 GB 10K SAS disks and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise management are included.

Suits High-Capacity Database

This configuration fits teams running data warehouses, VDI deployments or HPC data nodes that benefit from many spindles and abundant memory bandwidth. The quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric attachment. Buyers who need solid-state speed or a smaller drive count should consider other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis Decides Fit

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the rack space, power budget and cabling plan can accommodate a fully populated 2U chassis with dual 750 W supplies, the server delivers the density the spec promises.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch SAS drives in the R730xd work with a Dell PERC H730 controller I already own?

The server includes a Dell PERC H730 1GB controller that supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through mode, so the installed 24x 300GB 10K SAS drives are natively compatible.

How can I verify the dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs and 768GB DDR4 memory are recognised after installation?

Use the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management interface to view the system inventory; it will show both 22-core processors at 2.2GHz with 3.6GHz turbo and all 24 memory slots populated with 32GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules.

Which rails, bezel and network adapters are included, and what must I purchase separately?

The shipment contains Ready Rails, a front bezel, two 750W platinum power supplies and an Intel X520/I350 quad-port daughter card providing two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports; no additional rails, bezel or NICs are required for basic operation.
