DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-Core 2.0GHz 256GB DDR4 24x 1.2TB SAS H730

SKU CH-K7RX-YGJ5F

2U rack server with dual 14-core Xeon processors, 256GB DDR4, H730 RAID controller and 24 SAS drives

  • TypeRack
  • Rack Height2U
  • Redundant Hot-swap PowerYes
  • CPU TypeIntel Xeon
  • CPU Speed2.00 GHz
  • CPU SocketLGA 2011-3

Installed Memory Size 256GB

HDD 24 x 1.2TB 10K SAS

  • Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs deliver 28 cores at 2.0GHz base and 3.2GHz turbo for heavy compute workloads
  • 256GB DDR4 ECC memory across 8 modules supports large virtualisation and database footprints
  • PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 for flexible data protection
  • 24x 1.2TB 10K SAS drives provide high-capacity low-latency storage in a dense 2U chassis
  • X520/I350 quad-port NIC adds 2x 1GbE and 2x 10Gb SFP+ for fast network connectivity

Dual-socket 2U server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors supply 28 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, backed by 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. A PERC H730 controller manages the installed 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives across RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise and quad-port 1 GbE plus dual 10 GbE SFP+ networking complete the platform.

Suited to capacity-focused databases

Organisations that need high drive counts with hardware RAID and redundant power in a 2U form factor will match this specification. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, GPU-accelerated compute or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis with PERC H730

The single deciding factor is whether the workload fits 24 hot-swap SAS drives behind a 12 Gb/s H730 controller in 2U of rack space. If the application demands that exact drive density and RAID feature set, this server meets it; if it needs a different bay count or controller, another model is required.

Questions about this item

How many drive bays does the R730xd provide for the 1.2 TB SAS drives?

The chassis has 24 x 2.5" bays, all filled with 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives in this configuration.

What CPU performance can I expect from the two E5-2660 v4 processors under sustained load?

Each 14-core Xeon runs at 2.0 GHz base with a 3.2 GHz turbo, giving 28 cores total for multi-threaded workloads.

What RAID levels and throughput does the PERC H730 controller support with these drives?

The H730 1 GB controller handles RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 over 12 Gb/s SAS, limited by the 24 drive count.
