Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for workloads that need many drive bays in a compact chassis. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores each and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 8 modules.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets environments such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure and database nodes where high drive count and SAS throughput matter. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays or a different drive interface should look at other platforms.

24-bay SAS capacity

The chassis provides 24 x 2.5-inch bays populated with 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives connected to a PERC H730 1 GB controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and controller combination determines how much local storage the server can deliver.

Questions about this item

How do I slide the 2U chassis into a standard rack and secure it?

Extend the included Ready Rails, set the server on them, push until the latches click, then tighten the thumbscrews on both ears to lock it in place.

Which components will likely need replacement after several years of 24×7 operation?

The 24 SAS 600GB 10K drives, the two 750 W power supplies, and the PERC H730 controller battery are the primary field-replaceable units that wear out first.

What thermal or power ceiling appears first when all 24 cores run at 3.3 GHz Turbo continuously?

The dual 750 W platinum supplies and the 2U airflow path set the practical limit; sustained 3.3 GHz on both Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs will hit the chassis cooling capacity before the PSUs reach their rated output.
