2U rack server with 24 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two 14-core Xeon processors running at 2.0 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a PERC H730 storage controller with battery backup and two 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundant power and remote management.

High core density for virtualisation

Organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing workloads can use the 28 total cores and 24-bay chassis for local storage capacity. Buyers who need more than two sockets, GPU compute bays or a smaller form factor should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 controller with RAID 60 support

The installed PERC H730 1 GB controller manages SAS and SATA drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with pass-through. This single component determines the achievable redundancy and performance for the 24 internal bays.
