DELL PowerEdge R730xd 12LFF Xeon E5-2683 v4 384GB DDR4

Rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack chassis. It ships with one Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor running at 2.1 GHz and sixteen cores. Memory is populated to 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs across the available slots. A PERC H730 SAS controller handles RAID duties for SATA and SAS drives.

Suits dense storage clusters, not GPU farms

This configuration targets workloads that prioritise internal capacity over accelerator cards. The integrated graphics and single CPU limit virtual desktop density and heavy compute tasks. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processors or a smaller form factor should evaluate other platforms. The dual 1100 W supplies support redundant power for continuous operation.

384 GB DDR4 decides maximum memory headroom

The installed 384 GB of DDR4 leaves room to reach the 768 GB ceiling if the second processor socket is populated. Memory speed and rank limits follow the E5-2683 v4 memory controller specification. Verify that your application fits within this capacity before ordering additional modules.
