Purpose-built 2U density

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. A PERC H730 controller manages up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, starting with two 300 GB 10 K SAS disks. Dual 750 W platinum supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise and a quad-port 1 GbE plus dual 10 GbE SFP+ daughter card complete the chassis.

Fit and alternatives

This configuration suits workloads that need high core counts and dense local storage in a 2U form factor, such as database nodes, virtual desktop hosts or data-warehouse partitions. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two processor sockets or a storage controller that supports drive types beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The 24-bay 2.5-inch front-drive cage paired with the H730 RAID controller is the single attribute that determines whether this server matches the storage-density requirement.
