Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for high-density storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores, and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. The system includes a PERC H730 storage controller and dual 750-watt platinum power supplies.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualization

This configuration suits midsize to large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, or high-performance computing as a data node. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and included 400 GB SSDs support mixed read-write demands. Buyers who need more than two processors or require a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through mode. A battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available without additional hardware.

Questions about this item

How does having two 10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz affect real-world throughput?

Twenty cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo deliver strong multi-threaded performance for virtualization, databases and HPC workloads.

What does the PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit in practice?

The H730 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 1 GB cache and battery backup, capping drive throughput at 12 Gb/s per SAS lane.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis need?

The server occupies 2U of rack height, includes ready rails for square or threaded holes, and ships with the front bezel attached.
