DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2683 v3 2.0GHz 14-core 256GB DDR4 12x 6TB HDD H730

2U rack server with 12 bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system built for dense storage workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each with 14 cores running at 2.0 GHz and a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The chassis holds 12 hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 6 TB enterprise SATA hard drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant power.

Fits virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration suits midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB battery-backed cache. Buyers who require solid-state latency or GPU compute capacity should evaluate other platforms.

256 GB DDR4 registered ECC in 24 slots

The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory arranged as eight 32 GB modules across 24 DIMM slots. Maximum supported capacity reaches 1.5 TB, allowing substantial expansion for memory-intensive applications. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset define the processor and memory ceiling for this generation.
