Dual 22-Core Xeon 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU delivers 22 cores, providing dense compute capacity for virtualisation, databases and high-performance computing tasks. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Storage-Focused Buyers vs Network-Only Needs

This server suits organisations that need extensive local storage in a compact form factor. Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays and the PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache support multiple RAID levels for data protection. Buyers who only require high-speed networking without local disk capacity should consider alternatives, as the chassis is optimised for drive density rather than pure compute expansion.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays paired with the Dell PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. This combination determines whether the platform can meet your storage volume and redundancy requirements. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, while the quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.
