Dual Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system powered by two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz with sixteen cores each. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across twenty-four slots and includes a PERC H730 storage controller with 1GB cache. Two 400GB SATA SSDs are installed in the twenty-four-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suited for dense storage and virtualisation

This configuration suits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The dual 750-watt redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than 1.5TB of memory or a different drive interface should look at other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 1GB controller provides twelve-gigabit-per-second SAS and SATA connectivity with support for RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines which drive types and RAID topologies are available, making it the key specification to verify against application requirements.

Questions about this item

Which drive configuration suits a database node — the two 400GB SSDs or adding more 2.5-inch SATA drives?

The two installed 400GB SSDs provide fast OS and log storage; the 24-bay chassis accepts additional 2.5-inch SATA drives to scale capacity for database files.

How do the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo perform in a virtualised environment?

Each CPU delivers 16 cores at 2.1 GHz base and 3.0 GHz turbo, giving 32 total cores for dense VM consolidation on the C610 platform.

What RAID levels does the PERC H730 controller support over the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode across the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane.
