DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-Bay 3.5" 2x Xeon 10-Core 2.6GHz 256GB DDR4 H730 12x 4TB iDRAC8 Enterprise 2x 750W

12-Bay 3.5" 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a dual-socket 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with ten cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory spread across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages twelve 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives in the front bays.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links support high local capacity and fast fabric connectivity. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, more than 1.5 TB of memory or drive interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate different platforms.

Dual Xeon 10-core 2.6 GHz with 256 GB DDR4

The pair of ten-core Xeon processors and the 256 GB DDR4 foundation determine whether this server matches the compute and memory profile of the intended workload. The PERC H730 controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through modes for flexible storage layouts. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management complete the baseline feature set.
