DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 512GB DDR4 24x 1.2TB SAS H730

2U Server for Storage-Heavy Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors, 512GB of DDR4 ECC memory, and a PERC H730 controller managing twenty-four 1.2TB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Best for Dense Capacity and Virtualisation

This configuration suits buyers who need high drive density and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes. Buyers who need all-flash performance or more than twenty-four drive bays should look at alternative platforms.

Twenty-Four 1.2TB SAS Drives on H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the twenty-four 1.2TB 10K SAS drives behind the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This delivers high-capacity rotational storage with hardware redundancy in a single chassis.
