DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz 14-core 256GB DDR4 24× 800GB SSD H730

2U Rack Server with 24-Bay Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and twenty-four 800 GB SATA solid-state drives. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for Virtualisation and Data-Intensive Roles

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Builders who need more than two processor sockets, memory beyond 1.5 TB or drive interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual 14-Core Xeon Processors Define Compute Capacity

The two installed E5-2680 v4 CPUs deliver 28 total cores at a base clock of 2.4 GHz, setting the ceiling for parallel throughput. With the maximum processor count already reached, this server cannot scale compute further within the same chassis. Buyers should match this core count and clock speed to their licensing and threading requirements before purchase.
