DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF Xeon E5-2690 v4 192GB DDR4 rack server

PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay 2.5" server

This 2U rack server delivers dense storage capacity with twenty-four small-form-factor drive bays. A single Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processor runs at 2.6GHz with fourteen cores and 35MB cache. 192GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed and the system supports up to 768GB total. The PERC H730 SAS RAID controller manages storage arrays and iDRAC8 Enterprise provides remote management.

Suits virtualisation hosts

The twenty-four bay chassis fits organisations that need high local capacity in a compact rack footprint. Integrated dual-port 10GbE and dual-port 1GbE networking handles heavy east-west traffic. Buyers who require two processors from day one or need more than 192GB of memory pre-installed should look elsewhere.

Single Xeon E5-2690 v4 limits peak compute

Only one of the two CPU sockets is populated, capping core count at fourteen threads. The second socket remains empty for future expansion up to the platform maximum. This single-socket configuration determines whether the server meets immediate performance targets or requires an additional processor purchase.
