Capacity & form factor

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes three 600GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and a DVD ROM complete the configuration.

Who this suits

Organisations needing dense 3.5-inch hot-plug storage in a 2U chassis will appreciate the 12 drive bays and up to 52TB maximum capacity. The four 1GbE ports and up to six PCIe 3.0 slots cover typical networking and expansion needs. Buyers who require more than 32GB of installed memory, 10GbE connectivity out of the box, or GPU-ready slots should look at a different platform.

Deciding specification

The installed memory ceiling is 32GB even though the board provides 24 slots for DDR4 up to 2400MT/s. If your workload demands 64GB or more from day one, this unit will need a memory upgrade before deployment.
