Dell PowerEdge R730XD Server | 2X E5-2680 V3 2.50GHz = 24 Cores | 256GB | H730 | 24x 600GB 10K SAS (Renewed)

It works perfectly for our needs and is at a great price.

Received what was advertised. 24x 600gb SAS drives. Only needed to update 3 firmware modules. Minor learning curve on setting up the RAID. The web interface is better for that than the local connection. Web offers check boxes on AVAILABLE drives. Local simply lists the drives.Could have been 5 stars but unpacking is a PITA. Apparently they bag the server with an electro static (hopefully) bag then place another bag around that inside a form before using expanding foam. NOTE it SMELLS. I have expected to find dead mice.

This server is quite loud, especially during boot. Beware if it will operate in the same room. Also, it seems to run quite slow for the CPU cores it has. Comes pre-installed with Windows Server, and no ethernet cables (but 2 power cables). No user manual to speak of, watch for drawings and other useful notes on the cover panel. Overall not too impressed with it.

There is an update below the original post...The servers are both clearly described as 24x600GB drives. Ordered 2 of them and they both came with 16 drives each (and only 1-2 screws holding them in place) and 8 carriages that have no locking tabs. Called the number on the box for "Live Support" and it is simply a recording that hangs up on you. Tried to get the password from the number it says to text, no response. So i cant even login to it to see if it really is the right raid card or all the drives work, etc. I didnt order 32 drives with 16 broken carriages as i surely would not have placed that order if that is what was described. Sent a message via amazon messages but until then the rating stands.UPDATE: The seller said they "upgraded" the drives to 900gb and is why there where 16 missing. I told them i did not ask for what they consider an upgrade and expected 48 drives and 48 caddies as described. The shipped me out 16 drives with caddies and a bag of screws to replace the missing ones. Both servers spec wise appear to be as described as well so everything is good now. For those who read this looking for a password, it is Config@1
