Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots, supporting up to 1.5 TB total capacity.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

This server suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or HPC data nodes that need twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management. Buyers needing solid-state media, more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 4 TB SATA drives on a PERC H730 controller

Twelve enterprise 4 TB 7.2 K SATA drives connect to the Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Rails and front bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual 14-core 2.4 GHz Xeons and twelve 7.2K drives generate under sustained load?

The server includes two 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling designed for continuous operation with both CPUs and all drive bays populated.

Which cables, rails and network modules are required to install and connect this 2U rack server?

Ready rails and a front bezel are included; the quad-port daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ interfaces that need compatible switches and transceivers.

Can the PERC H730 controller and DDR4 memory slots work with older SAS drives and lower-speed DIMMs I already own?

The H730 supports SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, and the 24 DDR4 slots accept registered ECC modules up to the 1.5 TB maximum.
