Dual-socket 2U rack server

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R730xd delivers dual-socket Xeon performance in a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Two E5-2680 v4 processors provide 28 total cores at 2.40 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies 8 of 24 slots. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Virtualisation and storage density

Suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high core counts and many drive bays in 2U. The quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Builders who need single-socket density, GPU-accelerated compute or more than two processors should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The chassis fits up to 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drives on a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane served by the H730 controller. Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives are installed. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1.5 TB across 24 DIMM slots when the workload grows.
