Dual-processor rack server for data-intensive

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built for midsize and large enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses and high-performance computing. Two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 32 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots supports up to 1.5 TB total capacity.

Twelve-gigabit SAS/SATA controller sets

The PERC H730 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through at 12 Gb/s. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays accept SATA and SAS media, but the interface tops out at 6 Gb/s per device. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links.

Thirty-two total cores decide fit for parallel tasks

With two sixteen-core Xeons installed and no additional sockets available, the 32-thread maximum is fixed. Buyers who need more concurrent threads must choose a platform with higher core counts or additional sockets.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1.5 TB maximum?

The system ships with 256 GB across eight 32 GB modules, leaving sixteen slots free. Adding modules later is straightforward if workloads grow beyond the installed capacity.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock with 3.0 GHz turbo mean for actual throughput?

Each Xeon E5-2683 v4 runs at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz under load, giving sixteen cores per processor strong single-thread and multi-thread performance.

How does the PERC H730 controller affect the 800 GB SATA SSD speeds?

The H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA links, so the 6 Gb/s SATA SSDs operate at their full interface speed without controller bottleneck.
