Built for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes. It combines dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors with 256GB of DDR4 ECC memory and twenty-four drive bays in a compact chassis.

Upgrading from limited drive counts

Systems constrained to eight or twelve bays cannot match the local capacity this server provides for workloads that keep hot data on spinning media. The jump is worth it when your application needs more spindles than a standard 2U chassis can hold.

Sustained throughput with hardware RAID

The PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache and battery backup maintains write performance during extended rebuilds or heavy database writes. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and redundant cooling keep the platform stable when all twenty-four drives and both CPUs run at full load for hours.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware is included with the 2U chassis?

The server ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for mounting in a standard rack.

How are the two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors and 256GB of DDR4 memory installed?

Both CPUs come pre-installed in the two LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 256GB (8 × 32GB) DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules populate eight of the 24 DIMM slots.

Which components are hot-swappable for later maintenance?

The 24 × 300GB 10K SAS 2.5-inch drives and the two 750W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable; the PERC H730 controller battery can also be replaced without downtime.
