Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives fill every 2.5-inch bay, delivering high-capacity local storage in a compact chassis.

For Capacity-Focused Workloads

This configuration suits environments that prioritise raw disk count and throughput, such as data warehouses, VDI storage nodes or HPC data tiers. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links plus iDRAC 8 Enterprise management support dense deployments. Buyers who need solid-state speed or a single-socket platform should consider other form factors.

24-Bay SAS Drive Count

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated entirely with 2.4 TB SAS drives behind a 12 Gb/s H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density determines whether the server fits a workload that demands maximum spindle count in 2U of rack space.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750 W supplies draw when the server runs at full load all day?

Each supply is rated at 750 W platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on the workload you run on the 2× 16-core Xeons and 24 drives.

What cabling and rack hardware must I already have to install this 2U chassis?

The unit ships with ready rails and a front bezel; you supply the rack, PDU power cords and network patch cables for the X520/I350 ports.

Can the PERC H730 controller use my existing 6 Gb SAS drives alongside the installed 12 Gb 2.4 TB disks?

The H730 supports SAS and SATA at 12 Gb/s and is backward compatible with 6 Gb/s drives; mixed arrays will run at the slower device speed.
