Dual 22-core Xeon server for dense storage

The PowerEdge R730xd packs two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo into a 2U rack chassis. Fifty-one-two gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules supports virtualization, databases and high-performance computing nodes. Twenty-four hot-swap 2.5-inch trays accept SAS or SATA drives behind a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC8 Enterprise handles remote management. Dual 750-watt platinum supplies and rails complete the package.

Suits storage-heavy roles; not for GPU-heavy builds

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from 24 front-accessible drive bays and high core counts. Workloads needing GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should look at alternative platforms. The fixed two-processor limit and lack of installed drives mean buyers must supply their own storage media. Rack depth and power infrastructure must also match the 2U form factor and redundant 750-watt supplies.

PERC H730 RAID controller decides drive topology

The H730 mini controller with battery-backed 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode across all 24 bays. Its 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface sets the maximum throughput for any attached drives. Buyers planning all-flash arrays or specific RAID levels should verify the controller meets their performance and redundancy requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 24-bay 2.5" chassis or a smaller drive count for this R730xd?

The 24-bay 2.5" front end gives you the maximum drive density in a 2U rack height, ideal when you need many SAS or SATA spindles or SSDs behind the PERC H730 controller.

What does the 2.2 GHz base clock with 3.6 GHz turbo mean for my workloads?

Each of the two 22-core Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors runs at 2.2 GHz base and can boost to 3.6 GHz, delivering 44 total cores for heavily threaded tasks such as virtualization or database work.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730 controller limit real-world drive throughput?

The H730 12 Gb/s controller caps each SAS or SATA lane at 12 Gb/s, so aggregate throughput depends on the number of active drives and the RAID level you configure.
