Enterprise Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-intensive workloads. Dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors deliver 44 total cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 8 DIMM slots and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or data-warehouse nodes that need high core counts and large memory capacity. Buyers who require more than 24 DIMM slots or more than 12 front-access drive trays should look at a different platform.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Trays

The chassis provides 12 hot-swap 3.5-inch trays supporting SATA and SAS hard drives or SSDs. No drives are installed, so capacity and redundancy are chosen at deployment. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

Questions about this item

What does the 44-core total from the two 22-core Xeon processors mean for workloads running on this server?

The dual 22-core CPUs give 44 physical cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, so heavily threaded tasks such as database queries, virtualisation hosts or HPC data nodes can spread across all cores without hyper-threading bottlenecks.

How does the PERC H730 controller's 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA link affect drive throughput in the 12-bay chassis?

The controller runs at 12 Gb/s per port and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so each 3.5-inch bay can deliver full SAS or SATA SSD speed while the battery-backed cache absorbs write bursts.

What clearance and mounting hardware are required to install this 2U chassis in a rack?

The server occupies 2U of vertical space, ships with ready rails and a front bezel, and needs a standard four-post rack deep enough for the chassis length plus cable management at the rear.
