Rack Server 2U Dual Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. The system supports up to 1.5 TB of memory across 24 slots and uses the Intel C610 chipset.

Storage-Dense Workloads Not for All-Flash

This server suits environments that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity with hardware RAID, such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data warehouse nodes. The PERC H730 controller manages SAS and SATA drives with battery-backed cache. Buyers who need all-flash performance without mechanical drives or who require a smaller 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays connected to a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed. This bay count and SAS interface determine how many drives you can add and what drive types are compatible.

Questions about this item

How should I decide between the 2.4 GHz base speed and the 3.3 GHz turbo frequency when sizing workloads?

The two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors run at 2.4 GHz base and can boost to 3.3 GHz when thermal headroom allows, so size for the base clock and treat the higher frequency as opportunistic headroom for bursty database or virtualization tasks.

What does the 64 GB DDR4 2400 MHz memory configuration mean for actual capacity headroom?

Four 16 GB registered ECC modules occupy four of the 24 DIMM slots, leaving 20 slots free to reach the 1.5 TB maximum supported by the C610 chipset.

What practical throughput does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller and 10 GbE SFP+ ports cap at in this chassis?

The PERC H730 controller and backplane operate at 12 Gb/s SAS while the X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10 GbE SFP+ ports, so storage and network traffic are each limited by those respective link speeds.
