Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 12 large drives and dual 14-core Xeon processors into a 2U rack frame. It targets workloads that need high capacity and strong multi-threaded compute in a compact slot.

Check power and network readiness

Two 750 W hot-swap supplies require matching PDU outlets and cords. The quad-port daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, so confirm switch ports and cabling before installation.

Tool-less rails and front service

Included sliding rails allow single-person racking and the bezel snaps on without screws. All 12 drive bays, both power supplies and the PERC H730 controller are accessible from the front for hot-swap maintenance.

Questions about this item

Does the server include the 12x 4TB 3.5" hard drives and the two 750W power supplies, or must I buy them separately?

The unit ships with 12x Dell Enterprise 4TB 7.2K SATA 6Gb/s 3.5" drives and 2x Dell 750 Watt Platinum Efficiency power supplies already installed. The front bezel and Ready Rails are also included.

Should I choose the 768GB DDR4 2400MHz configuration or add more memory later?

The system arrives with 768GB (24x 32GB) DDR4 2400MHz Registered ECC filling all 24 slots. Maximum capacity is 1.5TB, so any future upgrade requires replacing existing modules.

What does the 2.0GHz base clock mean when both Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-core processors are under load?

Each processor runs at 2.0GHz base with a 3.2GHz turbo. Under sustained all-core workloads the actual frequency will settle between those two values depending on thermal and power conditions.
