Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each with 10 cores at 2.6 GHz and 3.3 GHz turbo. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs and quad-port networking with 2x 1 GbE and 2x 10 Gb SFP+ are installed.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This server fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data warehouses or high-performance computing data nodes. The dual 10-core CPUs and large memory capacity support dense virtualisation. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis provides internal storage density. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730 controller

The 24-bay 2.5-inch drive configuration combined with the PERC H730 RAID controller defines the storage capability. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Only SATA and SAS drives are supported on this backplane. Confirm that your drive type and RAID level match this controller before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 256GB DDR4 memory need replacement or expansion later?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5TB, so the installed 256GB can be expanded without removing existing modules.

What limits sustained throughput on the storage controller?

The PERC H730 controller provides 12Gb/s SAS/SATA bandwidth, which becomes the ceiling for the 2x 800GB SSDs and any additional drives under continuous load.

How much heat and power do the dual 750W supplies draw when the server runs all day?

Two 750W Platinum supplies deliver redundant power; typical draw depends on workload but each supply is rated for 750W maximum output.
