Dual 16-Core Xeon Server for Dense Storage

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz, each providing 16 cores for a total of 32 cores. It includes 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots and a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs and 24 drive bays support high-capacity storage workloads.

Suits Virtualisation and Database Nodes

Organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or data-warehouse nodes will benefit from the core count, large memory and hot-swap drive bays. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers who need more than two processors, GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity should look at other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Decides Fit

The 2U form factor holds up to 24 SATA or SAS drives, making bay count the primary constraint for storage-heavy deployments. Maximum memory reaches 1.5 TB if all 24 DDR4 slots are populated. Confirm rack depth and rail clearance before ordering.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with this R730xd and what must I source separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots, a PERC H730 RAID controller, two 800 GB SATA SSDs, a quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W power supplies, rails and a front bezel. Additional 2.5″ SATA or SAS drives for the remaining bays are not included.

How do I decide between adding more 800 GB SATA SSDs versus other capacities?

Each installed SSD is an 800 GB SATA 6 Gb/s enterprise drive; the chassis holds 24 x 2.5″ bays, so you can populate the remaining slots with matching 800 GB units for uniform RAID sets or mix larger SATA/SAS SSDs where the controller supports them.

What does the 2.1 GHz base / 3.0 GHz turbo spec mean for real-world throughput?

Each of the two 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs runs at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz under load, giving 32 physical cores total for heavily threaded workloads such as virtualization, databases or HPC data nodes.
