2U rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount system built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. It delivers twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a compact chassis with redundant hot-swap power supplies and integrated remote management.

24-bay SAS array with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the storage subsystem: twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. This combination provides high-density, high-throughput block storage for workloads that demand consistent low-latency access to large datasets.

Dual 14-core Xeons with 768 GB DDR4 under

Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors run at 2.0 GHz base with 3.0 GHz turbo across fourteen cores each, fed by 768 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across twenty-four slots. The platform maintains throughput during extended database scans, virtualisation host duties or HPC data-node tasks thanks to redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and enterprise-class cooling designed for continuous operation.
