Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built for capacity-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 12-core processors at 2.5 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and 24 drive bays populated with 600 GB 10K SAS drives.

Virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtualised databases, VDI clusters or HPC data nodes that benefit from high core counts and large local spindle storage. Buyers who need solid-state speed or more than 1.5 TB of memory should look at a different platform.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis served by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density determines whether the server fits the planned storage topology.

Questions about this item

Which storage configuration should I pick for this R730xd?

This unit ships with twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives in a 24-bay 2.5" chassis; select it when you need the highest spindle count for database or HPC workloads

What does the 3.3 GHz turbo figure mean once the server is running?

Each E5-2680 v3 processor can boost up to 3.3 GHz on active cores, raising single-thread throughput for bursty virtualization or database tasks

How does the PERC H730 controller limit RAID performance in practice?

The H730 1GB mini controller runs at 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through, capping array throughput at the controller's 12 Gb/s link
