2U rack server with 24-bay storage density

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack-mount server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 1.2TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote-management module complete the configuration.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This platform suits organisations that need up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives in a 2U form factor, with hardware RAID levels 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and redundant power. Buyers who require an operating system pre-installed, 10GbE networking as standard, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other configurations.

24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis decides fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis supporting SAS and SATA drives up to a combined 52TB raw capacity. If the deployment requires that drive count and density in 2U, this server matches; if fewer bays or 3.5-inch drives are needed, a different chassis is appropriate.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays for the 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays, or must they be ordered separately?

Trays are included with the three 1.2 TB SAS drives; empty bays do not come with trays so additional trays must be purchased if more drives are added.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I need the maximum 1536 GB capacity?

Fill all 24 DIMM slots with 64 GB DDR4 modules; the installed 16 GB must be replaced because the slots are fully populated at the maximum capacity.

What throughput can the H730 1 GB 12 Gbps RAID controller deliver to the three 7.2 K 1.2 TB SAS drives in a RAID 5 array?

The three 1.2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives are the bottleneck; sustained throughput will be limited to roughly the combined sequential speed of two drives in the RAID 5 set.
