  • Dual 14-core Xeon processors at 2.4 GHz deliver 28 cores for heavy workloads
  • 64 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory supports up to 1.5 TB capacity
  • PERC H730 controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with battery backup
  • 24 x 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives provide high-capacity, high-speed storage
  • Quad-port networking with dual 1 GbE and dual 10 Gb SFP+ plus iDRAC8 Enterprise management

Dense Storage Compute Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high local capacity and parallel processing. Dual 14-core Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo deliver 28 total cores, while 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory supports virtualisation and database tasks.

Suited for Capacity-Intensive Roles

This system fits environments running data warehouses, VDI clusters, HPC data nodes or e-commerce databases that benefit from 24 drive bays and hardware RAID. Buyers who need solid-state speed or more than 1.5 TB of memory should look at a different platform.

24-Bay 1.2 TB SAS Array

The defining specification is the 24 installed 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives behind a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination fixes usable capacity, I/O pattern and redundancy options before any software is loaded.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the R730xd and what must I add?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, 64 GB DDR4 in four 16 GB modules, a PERC H730 1 GB controller, twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives, an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum PSUs, rails and bezel. Empty DIMM slots and PCIe bays remain for extra memory or cards.

Should I choose the 64 GB configuration or expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum?

Start with the installed 64 GB if your workload fits; the board offers twenty-four DDR4 slots supporting up to 1.5 TB total, so you can add matched registered ECC modules later without replacing the original kit.

What does the 2.4 GHz base and 3.3 GHz turbo mean for real workloads?

Each of the twenty-eight cores runs at 2.4 GHz base and can lift to 3.3 GHz under turbo, giving strong single-thread response for database indexes while the high core count sustains parallel throughput for virtualization or HPC tasks.
