DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server 2× Xeon E5-2683 v3 2.0GHz 14 Core 256GB DDR4

Built for dense 3.5" storage

This 2U rack server pairs two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores each and 256 GB of registered DDR4 ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis provides twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch trays wired to a Dell PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management complete a platform designed for data-intensive workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes.

Suits workloads needing many large drives

Teams that want maximum 3.5-inch bay count in a 2U form factor with hardware RAID and quad-port 1 GbE plus dual 10 Gb SFP+ networking will find the configuration aligned. Buyers who need 2.5-inch bay density, GPU expansion slots or a higher core count per socket should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays driven by a PERC H730

The single specification that determines fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch backplane connected to the H730 RAID controller; if the deployment requires that exact combination of bay count, drive form factor and hardware RAID capability, this server matches the requirement.
