Dual 14-core Xeon density for storage-heavy 2U rack

Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors run at 2.4 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo across 28 total cores, supported by 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory in eight 32 GB modules, all inside a 2U chassis with redundant 750 W platinum power supplies.

Suits workloads needing many drive bays

This configuration fits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes that demand 24 hot-swap 2.5" SAS/SATA trays, dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports, plus iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management; buyers who need GPU acceleration or different networking should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5" SAS/SATA backplane with H730 RAID

The PERC H730 1 GB controller drives 24 front bays supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so the usable capacity and performance scale directly with the drives you install.
