PowerEdge R730xd 2U 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives providing high-capacity rotational storage.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The dual-socket design and 24-bay chassis support heavy read-write throughput on SAS media. Buyers who need solid-state latency, a smaller rack footprint or a single-processor platform should evaluate alternative designs.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It includes a battery-backed cache to protect in-flight data during power loss. This controller determines the achievable RAID topology and maximum array count for the 24 installed drives.
