DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz 14-core 256GB DDR4 24x 1.2TB SAS

Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system powered by two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores. It comes equipped with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules and includes a PERC H730 storage controller with battery backup. Twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives are pre-installed in the 2.5-inch front bays.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprise environments running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management. Buyers who need more than the installed 256 GB memory capacity or who require a different drive interface should evaluate other options.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives, delivering high spindle-count storage density in a 2U form factor. The H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and ready rails with bezel complete the package.
