Dense compute in 2U

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs dual 22-core Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors and 256 GB of DDR4 memory into a 2U rack chassis with 24 drive bays. It targets data-intensive workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes that benefit from local storage density. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise management support continuous operation in midsize and large enterprise environments.

Suits storage-heavy virtualization.

This server fits teams running mixed read-write workloads on SAS or SATA drives behind the H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, more than two processors, or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate alternative platforms. The 2.5-inch bay layout and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking also favour dense virtualisation clusters over single-threaded applications.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front section paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines how many drives you can install and which redundancy schemes are available. Match the bay count and RAID levels to your capacity and resilience requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 256 GB DDR4 memory limit be reached quickly under sustained virtualization workloads?

The system holds 256 GB across 24 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB, so additional DDR4 modules can be added before the ceiling is hit.

How loud and hot do the dual 750 W power supplies get when the server runs continuously?

Redundant hot-swap 750 W Platinum units share the load, keeping fan speeds lower and heat output manageable during all-day operation.

What network cabling must I already have to use the built-in 10 Gb SFP+ ports?

The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, so compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables are required.
