DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2× Xeon 14-core 2.0 GHz 128GB DDR4 24× 400GB SSD H730

Dual 14-core Xeon 2U server

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs provide high-density flash storage in a compact chassis.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This server fits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch design maximises drive count within 2U of rack space. Buyers who require more than 24 drive bays or need a taller chassis for additional expansion cards should evaluate other form factors. The fixed dual-processor configuration also limits future CPU upgrades beyond the two installed sockets.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD capacity

The defining specification is the front-loading 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 400 GB SATA solid-state drives. This density determines whether the platform matches a workload that prioritises drive count and flash performance over raw capacity per drive. The integrated PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all installed bays.
