DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 2.2GHz 22-Core 768GB DDR4 H730 24x 2.5" Trays

SKU CH-887B-RHSVW

2U rack server with dual 22-core Xeon processors at 2.2 GHz, 768 GB DDR4 memory, H730 RAID controller and 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive trays

  • TypeRack
  • Rack Height2U
  • Redundant Hot-swap PowerYes
  • CPU TypeIntel Xeon
  • CPU Speed2.20 GHz
  • CPU SocketLGA 2011-3
  • Dual 22-core Xeon processors reach 3.6 GHz turbo for heavy compute
  • 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots supports large datasets
  • PERC H730 controller enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with battery backup
  • 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive trays provide dense storage capacity
  • Quad-port networking with dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE links

Configuration and capacity

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, leaving room to expand up to the 1.5 TB maximum. A PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

Workload fit and limits

The 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch trays accept SATA or SAS drives, making the chassis suited to storage-dense tasks such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure or database nodes. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management. Buyers who require more than two processors or memory beyond 1.5 TB cannot expand this platform further.

Deciding specification

The storage controller and backplane are limited to SATA and SAS interfaces, so the drive bays do not support PCIe-attached media. If the deployment depends on direct PCIe storage connections, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5" configuration or a different bay count for this R730xd?

This unit ships with 24 front-accessible 2.5" SAS/SATA trays and no drives installed, so you can populate up to 24 drives of your choice.

What does the 2.2 GHz base clock with 3.6 GHz turbo mean for actual workloads?

Each of the two 22-core Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors runs at 2.2 GHz base and can boost to 3.6 GHz, giving 44 cores total for parallel tasks such as virtualization or databases.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730 controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, limiting each drive to the controller's 12 Gb/s link speed.
