  • Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 at 2.4 GHz deliver 12 cores for compute-heavy workloads
  • 64 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory supports virtualization and database tasks
  • PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60
  • 24-bay 2.5" chassis holds 24 × 300 GB 10K SAS drives for high-density storage
  • Quad-port X520/I350 card provides 2 × 1 GbE and 2 × 10 Gb SFP+ connectivity

Target workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense applications such as data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure and database clusters. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 6 cores each deliver 12 threads for parallel workloads, while 64 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory supports virtualisation and in-memory tasks. The chassis holds 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 300 GB 10K SAS disks and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Fit and alternatives

Organisations needing high-capacity internal storage with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 will match this configuration. Buyers who require more than 1.5 TB of RAM or more than two processors should consider other platforms because the C610 chipset and LGA 2011-3 sockets limit the system to those maximums. The server includes dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management and a quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.

Deciding specification

The single specification that determines suitability is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller. This combination fixes the storage interface to 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA media and sets the physical drive count at twenty-four 300 GB 10K spindles, so capacity and performance scale only within that SAS envelope.

Questions about this item

How much memory can the R730xd hold once it is populated?

The system supports up to 1.5TB of DDR4 across 24 slots, with 64GB already installed as 4x 16GB registered ECC modules.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS controller limit in practice?

The PERC H730 runs at 12Gb/s SAS and SATA, providing RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through for the 24 installed 300GB 10K drives.

What rack depth and hardware are needed to mount this 2U chassis?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard square-hole or round-hole racks.
