DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-Bay 3.5" Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14-Core 768GB DDR4 H730 12x 6TB

Server system for dense storage workloads

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-core processors running at 2.0GHz, 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and twelve 6TB 3.5-inch SATA hard drives managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W platinum power supplies, a quad-port 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ network daughter card and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

The twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis and 1.5TB maximum memory capacity make it a fit for database, VDI and HPC data-node roles that need high capacity in a 2U footprint. Buyers who need a single-socket platform, fewer drive bays or a smaller memory ceiling should evaluate other options.

Twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays with H730 RAID

The chassis provides exactly twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA bays backed by the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and controller combination is the specification that determines whether the system matches the storage density and redundancy requirements of the target workload.
