Purpose-built 24-bay 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors provide sixteen cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives, quad-port networking and iDRAC 8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Fit for dense storage workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high drive count in a 2U form factor for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes. The dual-socket limit and SAS interface mean buyers who require more than two processors or all-flash arrays with different interfaces will not find those capabilities here.

Storage controller defines expandability

The PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with battery-backed cache is the single component that determines which drives and RAID levels can be added. Its 1 GB cache and support for pass-through mode set the boundary for future storage growth.
