Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, 768 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, and a PERC H730 controller driving 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays. Dual 800 GB SATA SSDs and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 GbE SFP+ networking come factory-installed.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running dense virtualisation, VDI, or data-warehouse workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U footprint. Buyers who need more than two sockets, more than 1.5 TB of RAM, or a different drive form factor should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA/SAS backplane

The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays wired to the H730 RAID controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. This bay count and controller combination determines how many drives you can attach and which RAID levels are available.
