Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management and dual 750 W platinum power supplies complete the package for dense, high-throughput workloads.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised environments, large databases or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from 44 total cores and up to 1.5 TB of memory headroom. The 24-bay chassis provides extensive local storage capacity for software-defined storage or backup targets. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or a different drive form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller handles 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA traffic with battery-backed cache, enabling the full range of RAID levels including pass-through mode. It is the single component that determines which drive types and redundancy schemes are available, so confirming its feature set against your storage plan is essential before deployment.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the H730 controller battery need later?

The PERC H730 controller includes a battery that backs its 1 GB cache; it will need replacement when the battery health degrades, typically after several years of continuous operation.

Which limit shows up first under sustained use — the 22-core CPUs at 2.2 GHz or the 128 GB DDR4 memory?

With 24 DIMM slots and a 1.5 TB maximum, the installed 128 GB is well below the ceiling, so CPU throughput or thermal headroom will usually be reached before memory capacity.

How much heat and power do the two 750 W platinum PSUs draw when the server runs all day?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power; actual draw depends on workload, but the platinum rating means high efficiency even at continuous load.
