Dual 14-core Xeon server for data-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.40 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. Twenty-eight cores and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory give it the throughput for virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes and high-performance computing data tiers. It ships with iDRAC 8 Enterprise for remote management and dual 750 W platinum power supplies for redundancy.

Upgrade from single-socket or lower-core platforms

Moving from a single-processor system or a server with fewer than 14 cores per socket adds the parallel capacity needed when virtual machines or containers compete for CPU time. The 24 drive bays populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs replace slower mechanical arrays and remove the storage bottleneck that limits transaction-heavy applications. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 so the same chassis can be tuned for capacity, speed or resilience.

Sustained throughput under continuous load

Dual redundant power supplies and hot-swap drive carriers keep the system running during component replacement, while the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller maintains consistent I/O to all 24 SSDs. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links prevents the network from becoming the choke point during prolonged replication or backup windows. Memory can scale to 1.5 TB across 24 slots when workloads grow beyond the installed 256 GB.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U R730xd require for mounting?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Ready Rails for standard four-post rack installation.

How are the 24 SATA SSDs installed behind the front bezel, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the 24-bay 2.5″ front chassis; the common oversight is not seating each carrier until the latch clicks, which leaves the drive offline.

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement to keep write-back cache protected?

The 1 GB controller battery typically lasts several years; plan replacement when iDRAC 8 Enterprise reports a degraded or failed battery status.
