2U rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors. Each CPU delivers 12 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact chassis.

PERC H730 controller and quad-port networking

The bundled Dell PERC H730 1 GB storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes with battery-backed cache. Two 800 GB SATA 6 Gb/s enterprise SSDs are pre-installed in the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive chassis. A Dell Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network connectivity. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides full remote management including virtual console and power control. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and ready rails with a front bezel complete the package.

Tool-less rail mounting and cable routing

The included ready rails allow tool-less installation in standard 4-post racks, while the 2U height keeps density high. Hot-swap power supplies and drive bays enable component replacement without downtime. The 24-bay front panel demands careful cable management to avoid airflow restriction when fully populated. Memory configuration must follow Dell’s population rules across the 24 DIMM slots to reach the 1.5 TB maximum. Buyers who need more storage bays or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative chassis designs.

Questions about this item

Will the 800 GB SATA SSDs or the H730 controller battery need replacement first?

The two 800 GB SATA SSDs are wear items; the H730 controller includes a battery-backed cache that also ages, so both should be monitored.

What thermal limit appears first when both 12-core Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs run at 3.3 GHz turbo continuously?

The 2U chassis with dual 750 W platinum power supplies manages heat, but sustained turbo on 24 cores can push CPU package temperatures toward throttle points before the power supplies reach their limits.

How loud are the fans and how much power does the server draw when the 512 GB DDR4 array and both 10 GbE ports are active all day?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies feed 24 DIMM slots and quad-port networking; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature, and typical draw under full load stays within the 750 W redundant budget.
