Dual 16-core Xeon density for storage-heavy

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz, each delivering 16 cores, and 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots. It targets midsize to large enterprises that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact form factor.

Suits capacity-focused workloads.

This server targets midsize to large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from massive internal drive density and dual 10Gb SFP+ uplinks. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA chassis with H730 RAID

The chassis provides 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch trays for SAS or SATA drives backed by a Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and controller combination determines how much local storage can be installed and which redundancy levels are available.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any 2.5" drives or do I need to buy SAS/SATA drives separately?

The 24 drive trays are included empty; you must supply your own 2.5" SAS or SATA drives.

With 256 GB already installed across 24 slots, how much more DDR4 can I add?

8 x 32 GB modules fill 8 slots, leaving 16 slots open for up to 1.5 TB total capacity.

What throughput can the dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports deliver inside a running workload?

The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports for high-speed networking.
