DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6GHz 10 Core 512GB DDR4 2x 400GB SSD H730

DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6 GHz 10-core processors and 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages storage, and an Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC8 Enterprise and dual 750 W platinum supplies complete the platform.

Suits virtualisation hosts and dense storage nodes

The 24-bay 2.5" chassis and H730 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, making it a fit for VDI, database or HPC data-node roles. Buyers who need GPU compute slots or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms. Organisations requiring single-thread speeds above the 3.3 GHz turbo ceiling will also need a different architecture.

24-bay 2.5" chassis with PERC H730

The server accommodates up to twenty-four 2.5" SATA or SAS drives behind the H730 controller, which includes a 1 GB cache battery. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed, leaving twenty-two bays open for additional capacity or performance tiers. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the system matches your storage density and RAID requirements.
