DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 128GB DDR4 24× 800GB SSD

Purpose-built 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors provide twelve cores at 2.4 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. One hundred and twenty-eight gigabytes of registered ECC DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules supports memory-intensive workloads.

Thermals power and noise

Dual 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation under load. The 2U chassis uses forced-air cooling tuned for the installed component density. Acoustic output in a rack environment is typical for enterprise 2U systems under sustained compute and storage activity. Power draw scales with CPU utilisation and the twenty-four solid-state drives.

Build connectivity and daily use

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays are fully populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs behind a Dell PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management, firmware updates and console redirection without physical access. Ready Rails and a front bezel simplify rack mounting and cable routing.
