2U Rack Server with 24 Drive Bays

This new Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits in a standard 2U rack space and provides 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays. Dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors deliver 22 cores each at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Suited for Dense Storage Workloads

The 24 included 400 GB SATA SSDs and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller make this server a strong fit for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that need many drives in a compact form factor. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of total memory or more than two processors should look at a larger platform. The fixed 2U height also rules out installations that require a 1U or 4U chassis.

24 Hot-Swap 2.5-Inch Bays Decide Fit

The single specification that determines whether this unit works is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel backed by the H730 RAID controller. If the deployment needs exactly that many SATA or SAS drives in 2U, the R730xd matches; if the bay count or form factor differs, another server is required.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 x 400GB SATA SSDs and PERC H730 controller work with my existing 2.5" SATA HDDs?

The PERC H730 1GB controller supports both SAS and SATA drives, so your existing 2.5" SATA HDDs can be mixed with the installed 24 x 400GB SATA SSDs in the same 24-bay chassis.

How can I verify the two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors and 64GB DDR4 memory are detected correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management interface or enter the system BIOS during boot; both will show two 22-core CPUs at 2.2 GHz and 64 GB of registered ECC DDR4 across the 24 DIMM slots.

Which items ship with the server and which must be purchased separately, such as SFP+ modules or additional DDR4 DIMMs?

The box includes the 2U chassis with bezel, ready rails, two 750 W platinum PSUs, two Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs, 64 GB DDR4 (4 x 16 GB), 24 x 400 GB SATA SSDs, PERC H730, and X520/I350 quad-port card; SFP+ transceivers and extra DDR4 DIMMs are not included.
