Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with ten cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes.

SATA SSD Storage and Controller Limits

Twenty-four 400 GB SATA solid-state drives connect through a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. All drives use the SATA 6 Gb/s interface and occupy the 2.5-inch front bays.

1.5 TB Maximum Memory Capacity

The platform provides twenty-four DDR4 memory slots and supports up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory. The installed 64 GB configuration leaves twenty slots available for expansion. Buyers who need more memory than 1.5 TB must choose a different server platform.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 24-bay 2.5-inch model or a smaller chassis for this server?

The R730xd is a 2U rack server with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays; choose it when you need maximum SSD density in a compact rack footprint.

What does the 2.6 GHz Xeon speed deliver in a live workload?

Each E5-2660 v3 runs at 2.6 GHz base with 3.3 GHz turbo across 10 cores, giving 20 total threads for databases, virtualization or HPC tasks.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit real-world throughput?

The H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so 24 SATA SSDs are capped by the 6 Gb/s drive link and the controller's 1 GB cache.
