DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6 GHz 10-core processors and 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages storage, and an Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC8 Enterprise and dual 750 W platinum supplies complete the platform.

Suits virtualisation hosts and dense storage nodes

The 24-bay 2.5" chassis and H730 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, making it a fit for VDI, database or HPC data-node roles. Buyers who need GPU compute slots or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms. Organisations requiring single-thread speeds above the 3.3 GHz turbo ceiling will also need a different architecture.

24-bay 2.5" chassis with PERC H730

The server accommodates up to twenty-four 2.5" SATA or SAS drives behind the H730 controller, which includes a 1 GB cache battery. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed, leaving twenty-two bays open for additional capacity or performance tiers. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the system matches your storage density and RAID requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the DDR4 memory modules need to be replaced when they reach their rated lifespan?

The installed DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory is rated for continuous server operation; replacement is only required if a module fails or capacity must exceed the 1.5 TB maximum across 24 slots.

What thermal or power limit is reached first when both Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs run at 3.3 GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and chassis cooling are designed for sustained turbo operation; the first limit encountered will be the processor thermal design power, not the power supply or fan capacity.

How loud are the fans and how much heat does the server emit when running 24/7 with both 750 W PSUs active?

The 2U chassis uses redundant hot-swap fans that scale speed with inlet temperature; typical office ambient sees moderate airflow noise and heat output proportional to the actual workload, not the PSU maximum rating.
