DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz 14-core 256GB DDR4 2× 400GB SSD

2U Rack Server with Dual 14-Core Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4GHz with 14 cores and a 3.3GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32GB modules. A PERC H730 storage controller with 1GB cache manages the installed 2x 400GB SATA SSDs.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration fits virtual desktop infrastructure, database hosting and high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The 24 DIMM slots support expansion up to 1.5TB for growing workloads. Quad-port networking with dual 1GbE and dual 10Gb SFP+ handles diverse traffic needs. Buyers who require more than two physical processors or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis with Hot-Swap Power

The chassis provides 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays behind the front bezel for dense storage scaling. Dual 750-watt platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power for uptime assurance. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote management over the lifecycle. Ready rails are included for straightforward rack installation.
