Dual 14-core Xeon server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules, leaving 16 of 24 slots open for expansion up to 1.5 TB total capacity.

12-bay 3.5-inch chassis with H730 RAID controller

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch drive cage paired with a Dell PERC H730 1 GB storage controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Twelve 8 TB enterprise SATA drives at 7.2 K RPM are pre-installed, delivering high-capacity local storage for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes.

Quad-port networking and remote management ready

A dual-port 10 Gb SFP+ and dual-port 1 GbE daughter card provides flexible uplink options without consuming a PCIe slot, while iDRAC8 Enterprise gives full out-of-band control. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and included sliding rails with bezel complete the package, so the system fits straight into a standard rack and leaves expansion slots free for additional controllers or accelerators.
