DELL PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3 GHz 32 GB DDR4 3× 2 TB SAS H330

Dual-socket Xeon server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each with ten cores running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes three 2 TB SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays for SAS or SATA media.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug capacity

Storage density is defined by the twelve front-accessible drive bays that accept 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. The installed H330 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. This bay count and controller combination is the deciding factor for deployments that need many spinning disks in a single rack unit.

Redundant 750 W power supplies sustain continuous

Dual hot-swap 750 W power supplies share the load so that a single failure does not interrupt service. The power architecture is designed for 24/7 duty cycles in a 2U form factor, keeping both CPUs, all memory slots and a full complement of drives powered without throttling during sustained workloads.
