Dual 14-core Xeon 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. Each CPU provides 14 cores, giving 28 cores in total. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB.

Suits storage-dense workloads.

The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis is built around a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup, making it a fit for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing and high-performance computing data nodes. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or a tower form factor should look at other platforms.

12 x 6 TB 7.2K SATA drives included

Twelve enterprise-class 6 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch hard drives come pre-installed, providing a large raw capacity for capacity-oriented deployments. The PERC H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Network connectivity is handled by an Intel X520/I350 quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.
