Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two 18-core Xeon processors at 2.3 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a PERC H730 controller, twelve 8 TB SATA drives and a quad-port 1/10 GbE network card. The system is built for dense storage workloads in enterprise racks.

Suited for high-capacity storage nodes

This configuration targets workloads such as data warehouses, VDI storage tiers and database nodes that need many large drives behind a hardware RAID controller. Buyers who need flash-only arrays, GPU compute or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays with H730 RAID

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch bays wired to a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. That bay count and controller combination is the primary factor in deciding whether the server fits a given storage topology.
