Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

This 2U rack system ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores. It includes 768 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs and dual 750 W power supplies are installed.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation workloads

The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports large SATA or SAS arrays for databases, VDI or HPC data nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles heavy east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than two sockets, GPU slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis capacity

The front panel holds up to 24 hot-swap drives, letting you scale raw capacity well beyond the two factory SSDs. This bay count is the key constraint when planning storage growth or RAID layouts for this server.

Questions about this item

Does the server include rails and a bezel, or must I order them separately?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included with the 2U rack server, so no separate purchase is required for mounting hardware.

Should I choose the 768 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1.5 TB maximum?

The system arrives with 768 GB across 24 slots of 32 GB DDR4 modules; all slots are populated, so any increase to the 1.5 TB limit requires removing existing DIMMs.

What does the H730 controller with 1 GB cache deliver for the two 800 GB SSDs in daily use?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the 800 GB SATA SSDs with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, providing hardware RAID acceleration for database or virtualisation workloads.
