Dual 22-core Xeon server

The DELL PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors deliver 44 total cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo for heavy multi-threaded workloads.

24-bay 2.5-inch storage array

Twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch bays are populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. The chassis maxes out at 24 drives, so buyers who need more raw capacity must look elsewhere.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The 2U form factor limits airflow density, so sustained full-core turbo will raise inlet temperatures in poorly ventilated racks.

Questions about this item

What does having 22 cores per processor mean for real-world workloads on this server?

Each of the two Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs provides 22 cores at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo, giving 44 cores total for heavy multi-threaded tasks such as virtualisation, databases or HPC.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit the 24 installed SSDs?

The H730 1 GB controller runs at 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so the 24 SATA SSDs can be grouped into large redundant arrays or used in pass-through mode.

What physical space and mounting hardware does this 2U server need?

The chassis is 2U high and includes ready rails plus a front bezel for installation in a standard rack cabinet.
