DELL PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 96GB DDR4 H730

Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 96GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suited for capacity-first workloads

This configuration fits teams that need up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drive bays in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who require a second processor installed, GPU-accelerated compute or included operating system licensing should evaluate alternative platforms. The single-CPU layout and Matrox G200 graphics limit visualisation and heavy parallel tasks.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with a maximum raw capacity of 52TB using SAS or SATA drives. No drives or trays are included, so the buyer must supply compatible media to activate the storage controller and RAID features.
