DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server 2x E5-2680 v3 128GB DDR4 24x 1.2TB SAS

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 24 cores and 128GB of DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC memory installed across eight 16GB modules. It includes a PERC H730 storage controller with 1GB cache and 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1.2TB 10K SAS hard drives.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation workloads

This server suits organisations that need high local storage capacity in a compact 2U form factor for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data warehouse nodes. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections alongside iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who require solid-state media or more than 24 drive bays must look beyond this chassis.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supporting SAS and SATA drives through the H730 controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes. This density determines whether the system fits the intended storage footprint. Redundant 750W platinum power supplies and sliding rails are included for immediate rack deployment.
