Dual 14-core Xeon server for dense storage workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd packs two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots supports virtualisation and database tasks. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache enable large local datasets.

Sustained throughput from redundant power

Dual 750-watt platinum power supplies and hot-swap redundancy keep the system running during extended compute or I/O bursts. The 2U chassis airflow design maintains stable temperatures for both CPUs and the 24-bay backplane. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links feeds data continuously without saturating a single uplink.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch bays decide the fit

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Buyers who need more than 24 front-accessible drives or a different drive form factor cannot use this platform.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 750 Watt PSUs draw when the server runs 24/7?

Each supply is rated at 750 watts platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on load but the redundant pair shares the workload to keep heat and noise lower than a single unit would.

Which caddies and rails are required to populate the 24 front 2.5-inch bays?

The chassis includes ready rails for rack mounting; drive caddies for 2.5-inch SATA or SAS devices are not included and must be sourced separately.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise older 6 Gb/s SATA drives I already own?

Yes — the H730 supports SATA 6 Gb/s and SAS 12 Gb/s, so legacy 6 Gb/s SATA SSDs or HDDs work in pass-through or any RAID level the card offers.
