Dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 22-core 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with battery-backed cache. Twelve 3.5-inch 8 TB enterprise SATA drives are installed, providing high-capacity storage in a dense chassis. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for dense storage workloads not solid-state

This configuration targets environments that prioritise raw capacity and multi-threaded compute, such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure nodes, or HPC data tiers. The twelve 7.2K SATA drives and SAS/SATA controller deliver sequential throughput for large datasets but lack the low latency of solid-state media. Buyers who need sub-millisecond access times or an all-flash array should consider a different platform because only mechanical drives are populated.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 mini controller with 1 GB of battery-backed cache, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component determines both data protection options and the maximum number of drive groups the server can sustain. Verify that the RAID levels and cache size match your resilience and performance requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does this 2U server require?

This unit is a 2U rack server and includes ready rails for mounting in a standard rack enclosure.

How are the twelve 3.5-inch drives installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front hot-swap bays; the common mistake is not seating each carrier fully until the latch clicks, which leaves the SATA connection loose.

Which components will need replacement first in a 24/7 deployment?

The twelve 7.2K SATA hard drives and the two 750 W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; the H730 controller battery also degrades over time.
