DELL PowerEdge R730xd 12LFF 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 2.1GHz 256GB DDR4 No Drive

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 12-Bay Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting up to twelve 3.5-inch drives. The unit includes dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management.

Suited for dense storage workloads

The twelve-bay chassis suits environments that need high local capacity such as backup repositories, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Integrated graphics and a single CPU socket limit make it a poor fit for virtualisation hosts that require GPU passthrough or more than two processors. Buyers who need more than 768GB of RAM or additional PCIe slots should evaluate larger platforms.

Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 at 2.1GHz

Each of the two installed processors delivers sixteen cores and 40MB of cache, providing thirty-two threads total for multi-threaded applications. The 2.1GHz base frequency balances throughput with power draw under the 1100W redundant supply. This CPU configuration determines the licensing cost and performance ceiling for the deployment.
