DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2683 v3 2.0GHz 14-core 128GB DDR4 24x 800GB SSD H730

2U rack server with 24-bay storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 storage controller with battery-backed cache. Twenty-four 800 GB SATA SSDs fill every front bay, delivering high-capacity flash storage in a compact chassis.

Suited for database and virtualisation nodes

This configuration fits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from all-flash capacity and dual-processor compute. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who require more than two CPU sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated entirely with 800 GB SATA solid-state drives. This density determines whether the server matches a workload that prioritises storage volume over raw IOPS per drive. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails are included.
