Dense 12-Bay 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory provide the compute base. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the twelve 4 TB enterprise SATA drives.

Suits Capacity-First Deployments.

This server fits databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that prioritise drive count over add-in accelerator slots. Buyers who need GPU compute density or specialised AI inference cards should look at a different platform.

Dual 16-Core Xeon E5-2683 v4 at 2.1 GHz

Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 32 total cores with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The LGA 2011-3 socket and C610 chipset limit upgrades to this same processor generation, so the installed CPU configuration is also the maximum.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the dual 16-core Xeon setup and the 256GB DDR4 capacity for my workload?

The server ships with two 2.1GHz 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors and 256GB of DDR4 2400MHz ECC memory across 8 DIMM slots, leaving 16 slots free to reach the 1.5TB maximum if your application needs more memory than CPU threads.

What does the 2.1GHz base clock with 3.0GHz turbo mean for sustained performance in a 2U rack?

Each of the 32 total cores runs at 2.1GHz base and can boost to 3.0GHz under load, while the dual 750W platinum power supplies and redundant cooling keep thermals stable during prolonged compute tasks in the 2U chassis.

How does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller cap real-world throughput with the twelve 4TB 7.2K drives?

The H730's 12Gb/s SAS interface and 1GB cache feed all twelve 6Gb/s SATA drives, so aggregate sequential bandwidth is limited by the drive spindles and the controller's RAID overhead rather than the link speed.
