DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz with 10 cores each, 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, and a PERC H730 storage controller. Twenty-four 2.4TB 10K SAS drives provide high-capacity internal storage, while dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise enable resilient remote management.

Virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms, or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from dense 2.5-inch drive bays and dual 10GbE plus dual 1GbE networking. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU acceleration, or a backplane designed for flash-native media should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. This layout determines how many drives can be installed and which RAID levels are available for the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Does the R730xd ship with all 24 drive bays populated or do I need to add drives myself?

The unit includes 24 Dell Enterprise 2.4TB 10K SAS 2.5" drives pre-installed, so every bay is filled on arrival.

How do I decide between the installed 768GB and the 1.5TB maximum for my workload?

768GB is delivered as 24×32GB DDR4 2133MHz modules occupying every slot; reaching 1.5TB requires replacing all modules with larger capacities.

What does the 2.6GHz base clock with 3.3GHz turbo mean for sustained compute tasks?

Each of the 20 total cores runs at 2.6GHz continuously and can boost to 3.3GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving predictable throughput for database and virtualization workloads.
