Dense 2U Storage Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for workloads that demand high local storage capacity in a compact form factor. It integrates twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays, dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors and a large memory footprint to serve as a dense data node.

Suited for capacity-focused workloads

This configuration fits environments such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure and database hosting where many SAS spindles are required. Buyers who need all-flash performance or a different drive protocol should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 1GB controller manages the twenty-four 600GB 10K SAS drives with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller choice determines the RAID levels and drive types the system can support.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5-inch configuration or a smaller drive count?

The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis holds all 24x 600GB 10K SAS drives for maximum density in 2U; reduce the count only if you need fewer spindles.

What does the 2.4 GHz Xeon speed deliver under load?

Two E5-2620 v3 6-core CPUs run at 2.4 GHz base and reach 3.2 GHz turbo, giving 24 threads for virtualization or database workloads.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit real-world throughput?

The PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller caps each drive at 12 Gb/s and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with 1 GB battery-backed cache.
