Purpose-Built 2U Data Node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server configured with dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis, which supports SAS and SATA drives. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, quad-port networking, rails and bezel complete the package.

Fit for Dense Storage Workloads

This server suits teams running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes or high-performance computing storage tiers that benefit from high core counts, large memory capacity and front-access drive density in 2U. It is not for buyers who require PCIe-attached flash, GPU compute sleds, or single-thread speeds beyond the 3.0 GHz turbo ceiling. Environments needing more than two sockets or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate larger platforms.

The 24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Decides

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive layout paired with the H730 controller, which delivers 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through. If the workload demands maximum drive count in a 2U form factor with redundant hot-swap power, this configuration matches that requirement. If fewer bays or a different drive form factor are needed, another chassis is appropriate.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a 1GB battery-backed cache; plan to replace the battery module every three to five years to maintain write-back cache protection.

What limits sustained CPU throughput first?

Two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors run at 2.1 GHz base with 3.0 GHz turbo; under continuous all-core load the base frequency and thermal envelope become the limiting factor.

How much heat and noise do the dual 750 W platinum PSUs produce during 24/7 operation?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies run efficiently at typical loads; the 2U chassis uses redundant hot-swap fans that increase speed as inlet temperature rises, keeping components within spec.
