Dense 2U storage server

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for capacity-heavy workloads. It ships with two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz, 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller driving 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays. Dual 750 W platinum supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration fits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from large core counts and abundant memory channels. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ daughter card covers typical rack networking without extra cards. Buyers who need more than two sockets, faster single-thread clocks or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis

The defining spec is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel that lets you populate up to 24 SATA or SAS drives behind a single PERC H730 RAID controller. If your deployment needs that drive density in 2U this server matches; if you need fewer bays or a different form factor the chassis constraint becomes the deciding factor.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750 Watt supplies draw under continuous load?

Each supply is rated at 750 Watt with Platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on the workload you run on the two 2.60 GHz Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors and 768GB of DDR4 memory.

Which rails and cabling do I need to mount this 2U chassis in a standard rack?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included; you only need a four-post rack with square or threaded holes and standard IEC C13 power cords for the two redundant supplies.

Can the PERC H730 controller use the existing 400GB SSDs in a RAID array with larger SATA drives I already own?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across its 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA ports, so you can mix the installed 400GB SSDs with other SATA drives in the same virtual disk.
