Rack server with dual 12-core Xeon processors

The DELL PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and 24 enterprise SATA SSDs provide a dense storage and compute platform. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise management support continuous operation.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

This configuration fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from 24 drive bays and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate alternative platforms. Workloads requiring GPU acceleration or different network interfaces are not addressed by this unit.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with H730 RAID controller

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting SATA and SAS drives. This determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. Verify that your rack space, power budget and drive-type requirements match this 2U form factor before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a different drive count or capacity for this server?

The unit ships with 24 bays populated by 800GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

What does the 2.5GHz Xeon speed deliver in actual workloads?

Two 12-core E5-2680 v3 processors run at 2.5GHz base with 3.3GHz turbo, providing 24 total cores for virtualization, databases or HPC tasks.

How do the 10Gb SFP+ ports and PERC H730 controller limit throughput?

The X520/I350 card offers two 10Gb SFP+ links, while the H730 handles 12Gb/s SAS/SATA backend bandwidth for the 24 installed SSDs.
