Dual 14-core Xeon server for dense storage workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs fill every front bay, delivering high-capacity flash storage for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes.

Verify rack space power and network before ordering

Confirm the cabinet can accept a 2U chassis and that rails are compatible with your rack depth. Two 750 W platinum power supplies require matching PDU outlets and circuits rated for the load. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so ensure switch uplinks and cabling support those interfaces. The system supports a maximum of two processors and 1.5 TB of memory if future expansion is planned.

Included rails bezel and iDRAC Enterprise simplify

Sliding ReadyRails and the front bezel are supplied, reducing installation time in standard racks. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides full out-of-band remote management including virtual console and power control without extra licensing. The PERC H730 battery-backed cache enables write-back acceleration for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, protecting data during unexpected power loss. No additional accessories or software licences are mentioned in the configuration.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated or do I need to buy additional SSDs?

The unit includes 24 x 400GB SATA SSDs pre-installed, filling every 2.5" bay; no extra drives are required for full capacity.

The spec lists 768 GB across 24 slots — is that the maximum I can install?

768 GB uses 24 x 32 GB DDR4 modules, but the board supports up to 1.5 TB when all slots are populated with larger sticks.

The CPUs are rated at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo — will they sustain the higher speed under load?

Turbo reaches 3.0 GHz depending on core count, temperature and power limits; sustained all-core speed will be lower than the peak turbo figure.
