DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12 Bay 3.5" 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 768GB DDR4 H730

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.40 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It includes 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, supporting up to 1.5 TB total. The system uses a Dell PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache and provides twelve 3.5-inch drive trays for SATA or SAS drives.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation.

This server suits organisations needing high internal storage capacity in a compact 2U form factor for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data warehousing. The quad-port network daughter card offers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or single-threaded frequency above the 3.2 GHz turbo should consider alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch trays with H730 RAID controller

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap drive trays paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes. This combination determines whether the chassis meets the required drive count and RAID level for the intended storage workload. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.
