Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0GHz with 14 cores each, providing 28 total cores. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. A Dell PERC H730 1GB storage controller manages twelve 8TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch drives.

Suits virtualisation and dense storage

The twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis and high core count suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes and backup targets needing large capacity in 2U. Buyers who need more than 1.5TB of RAM, more than two CPU sockets or all-flash performance should evaluate alternative platforms. The LGA 2011-3 socket and DDR4 memory limit future processor upgrades to the same generation.

PERC H730 RAID with 1GB cache

The Dell PERC H730 controller provides 1GB of battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This cache capacity and RAID breadth determine whether the array can sustain write-heavy database or logging workloads at the required latency.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory speed and form factor must I already have to expand the 64 GB installed in this server?

The system uses DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC DIMMs; the 24 slots accept up to 1.5 TB total.

Can the 12 x 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives work with the PERC H730 controller in my existing RAID 5 or 6 arrays?

Yes, the H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through for those SATA drives.

How do I verify the dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs are hitting 3.2 GHz turbo after installation?

Check iDRAC 8 Enterprise system logs or BIOS CPU frequency readings; both will show the 3.2 GHz turbo state under load.
