DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 64GB DDR4 12x 6TB H730

2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Processors

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays are populated with 6 TB enterprise SATA hard drives.

Storage-Dense Configurations and General Compute

This server suits organisations building data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure hosts or database nodes that prioritise capacity over all-flash speed. The twelve-bay chassis and PERC H730 controller support RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for redundancy. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, solid-state media installed from the factory or a smaller form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 RAID Controller with 1 GB Cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 storage controller provides 1 GB of battery-backed cache and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity. It manages the twelve 7.2K RPM hard drives and enables the full range of hardware RAID modes. This controller determines the storage performance ceiling and the data protection options available for the configured arrays.
