Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.40 GHz, each providing 14 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and twelve 6 TB SATA hard drives. Dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise management are standard.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads.

This configuration targets environments that need high capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure or database nodes. The twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and H730 RAID controller support large arrays with redundancy. Buyers who need only processing power without local storage, or who require a smaller form factor, should look at other platforms.

12 x 3.5-inch SATA bays with H730 RAID

The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the twelve installed 6 TB drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. All bays are populated, so expansion requires external enclosures. The SATA interface and 7.2 K rpm spindle speed define the throughput ceiling for the internal array.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained compute throughput with the two 14-core Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPUs installed?

The system ships with the maximum of two processors already installed, so no additional CPU capacity can be added.

How much heat and power do the dual 750 W platinum supplies and 24 DIMMs generate when the server runs continuously?

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots produce significant heat under 24/7 load.

Which network modules must already be present to use the four onboard ports?

The Intel X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports is factory-installed.
