Dual-socket 2U server for storage-dense workloads

This new Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with six cores each. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis, which also supports SAS drives.

Suits virtualisation hosts

The 24 front-accessible bays make this chassis a good match for workloads that prioritise local capacity over raw compute density. Buyers who need PCIe-attached flash or more than two sockets should evaluate other platforms. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise are included for remote management.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis

The storage controller handles SAS and SATA drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1.5 TB across 24 DIMM slots. Quad-port networking provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections via the X520/I350 daughter card.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 512 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The server ships with 512 GB across 16 DIMM slots, leaving 8 slots free to reach the 1.5 TB maximum if your workload grows.

What does the 2.4 GHz Xeon speed deliver under load?

Each E5-2620 v3 runs at 2.4 GHz base and can turbo to 3.2 GHz, giving 12 total cores for multi-threaded applications.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit drive performance?

The H730 provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity, so the installed 400 GB SATA SSDs operate at their native 6 Gb/s link speed.
