Dual 14-core Xeon 2U server

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 14 cores for a total of 28 processing threads across the dual-socket configuration. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory populated across eight 16 GB modules. Twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives fill every 2.5-inch bay, delivering high-density storage in a compact chassis.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

This server targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay layout and PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible redundancy. Buyers who need flash-only storage tiers or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative configurations. The fixed 2U height and 24-bay maximum also limit expansion for workloads that outgrow the internal drive count.

24-bay SAS capacity with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller managing 24 enterprise 1.2 TB SAS hard drives at 12 Gb/s. This combination determines both the raw capacity ceiling and the RAID performance profile for the workload. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links is provided by the Intel X520/I350 daughter card. Remote management uses iDRAC 8 Enterprise, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies supply redundant hot-swap power.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 controller battery need periodic replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed write cache; the battery is a serviceable part and should be replaced according to Dell's maintenance schedule to preserve cache protection during power loss.

What limits sustained throughput on the 24-bay SAS backplane?

The 24 × 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives connect through a 12 Gb/s backplane to the H730 controller; aggregate sequential throughput is bounded by the controller's 12 Gb/s SAS lanes and the drives' native transfer rates.

How much heat and noise do the dual 750 W platinum PSUs and system fans produce in a 2U rack?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies and redundant hot-swap fans keep the 2U chassis within Dell's specified thermal envelope; actual acoustics and heat output vary with inlet temperature and workload intensity.
