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 E5-2680 v3 12-core processors running at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules, and twelve 3.5-inch 4 TB enterprise SATA hard drives. A PERC H730 1 GB storage controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation.

This configuration suits buyers who need high raw capacity in a compact 2U form factor, with twelve drive bays populated by 7.2K RPM SATA disks. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who require solid-state performance or a different drive interface should look at alternative configurations.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller handles SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gb/s and includes a battery-backed cache. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, determining how the twelve installed drives can be grouped for redundancy or capacity. This single component dictates the storage topology available to the operating system.
