Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6 GHz 8-core compute

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing workloads. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors deliver 16 total cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo for multi-threaded throughput.

512 GB DDR4-2133 registered ECC across 16 slots

Installed memory consists of 16 modules of 32 GB DDR4-2133 registered ECC, occupying 16 of the 24 available DIMM slots and leaving room to scale toward the 1.5 TB maximum. The C610 chipset and LGA 2011-3 sockets support this capacity without requiring a processor change.

24-bay 2.5" SATA SSD array with H730 RAID

Twenty-four 400 GB enterprise SATA SSDs connect through the PERC H730 1 GB controller, providing RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes with battery-backed cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management sustain continuous operation under heavy I/O load.
