DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 2.2GHz 22-Core 128GB DDR4 24x 600GB SAS H730

Dense 24-bay 2U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis, giving midsize and large enterprises a dense platform for data warehouses, e-commerce, VDI, databases and HPC data nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors provide 22 cores each at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, and 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory fills eight of the 24 DIMM slots.

Redundant power and quad-port networking

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies and the 2U form factor with ready rails and bezel simplify rack installation and ongoing maintenance. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible uplink choices, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full out-of-band remote management without extra licensing.

RAID controller and 24 enterprise drives included

A PERC H730 1 GB mini controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, backed by a battery to protect write cache during power loss. The system ships with 24 Dell enterprise 600 GB 10 K SAS drives, so the storage array is operational immediately — buyers needing solid-state media or larger capacity drives will have to source those separately.
