Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each processor provides twelve cores, delivering twenty-four cores in total for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules.

Virtualisation and storage-heavy workloads

This configuration suits environments running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data warehousing or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from dense 2.5-inch drive bays and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processors or memory beyond the 1.5 TB maximum should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes with battery-backed cache for write protection. It manages the two installed 800 GB SATA SSDs and up to twenty-two additional SATA or SAS drives in the twenty-four-bay chassis.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the 128GB installed memory and the 1.5TB maximum capacity?

The system ships with 128GB across 8 slots, leaving 16 slots free for DDR4 RDIMMs up to the 1.5TB limit.

What does the 2.5GHz base clock with 3.3GHz turbo mean for sustained workloads?

Each of the 24 cores runs at 2.5GHz continuously and can boost to 3.3GHz when thermal headroom allows.

What RAID levels and throughput does the PERC H730 1GB controller support over its 12Gb/s SAS/SATA interface?

It handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1GB cache, capped by the 12Gb/s SAS/SATA link speed.
