DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 2.2GHz 22-Core 256GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage and compute in a single chassis. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays using SAS or SATA interfaces.

Ideal for storage-heavy workloads and virtualization

This server suits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from high core counts and large internal drive capacity. The dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports, together with iDRAC8 Enterprise, support demanding network and remote-management needs. Buyers who need more than two processors, faster memory speeds than 2400 MHz or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis connected to a 12 Gb/s PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. This layout determines how many drives you can install and which drive interfaces are natively supported.
