PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-bay server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors. Each CPU provides 10 cores running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache.

Suited for dense storage workloads.

The chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 8 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives, delivering high capacity for data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure or HPC data nodes. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who need all-flash arrays or GPU compute density should evaluate other platforms.

1.5 TB maximum memory capacity

The Intel C610 chipset supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across the 24 DIMM slots, allowing significant expansion beyond the factory 128 GB configuration. This ceiling determines whether the server can grow with memory-intensive databases or virtualisation clusters.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.6 GHz base clock with 3.3 GHz turbo on the Xeon E5-2660 v3 mean for real workloads?

Each of the two 10-core processors runs at 2.6 GHz base and can boost to 3.3 GHz under load, giving 20 total cores for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization or databases.

How does the PERC H730 controller's 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface limit drive performance?

The controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA; the installed 12 x 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives operate at the 6 Gb/s SATA link speed.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The system is a 2U rack server that ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard cabinet installation.
