Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 96 GB of DDR4 memory and a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide continuous operation.

Storage density and expandability

The chassis accepts up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot allow additional I/O cards. Buyers who need more than one processor or who require 3.5-inch drive bays should look at a different platform.

96 GB installed DDR4 memory limit

The system arrives with 96 GB already populated across the 24 DIMM slots and the specification lists a maximum memory capacity of 96 GB with the current configuration. Any expansion beyond this figure would require a different server model.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2630 v3 or add a second processor?

The board supports up to two CPUs; a second E5-2630 v3 doubles cores to 16 physical and 32 threads while keeping the same 2.4 GHz clock.

What does the 2.4 GHz Xeon E5-2630 v3 deliver in this 2U chassis?

Eight cores and sixteen threads at 2.4 GHz give strong multi-thread throughput for virtualisation or database workloads within the 2U power and thermal envelope.

How does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller limit drive performance?

The H730 caps each SAS or SATA lane at 12 Gbps, so twenty-four 2.5″ drives share that bandwidth across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 arrays.
