Dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz with 48 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets organisations that need high drive density in a compact rack footprint. The system ships without an operating system.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays

The chassis supports up to 24 SAS or SATA drives for a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. The integrated Perc H730 controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 12 Gbps interface. No drives or trays are included with the unit.

Single processor limits total memory

Only one CPU is installed, so the 24 DIMM slots are capped at 48 GB despite the platform supporting up to 1536 GB with two processors. Buyers who need more memory must add a second compatible Xeon.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2650 v3 or add a second processor?

The server ships with one ten-core 2.3 GHz Xeon and supports up to two CPUs; adding the second doubles thread count to twenty physical cores and forty virtual threads for heavier workloads.

What does 48 GB DDR4 at 2400 MT/s deliver in this chassis?

The installed 48 GB runs at speeds the E5-2650 v3 memory controller allows, giving ample capacity for virtualisation or database tasks while leaving twenty empty DIMM slots for future expansion.

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

The Perc H730 caps each SAS or SATA bay at 12 Gbps, so even the fastest 2.5-inch SSDs will hit that ceiling rather than their native link speed.
