Dual Xeon E5-2695 v4 18-core processors

This 5U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 CPUs, each delivering 18 cores at a 2.1GHz base frequency and 3.3GHz turbo. The dual-socket LGA 2011 platform targets virtualization hosts, database workloads and business-critical applications that benefit from high core counts and ECC memory integrity.

H730P RAID controller with 16-bay SFF chassis

The Dell PERC H730P provides 2GB cache and 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays accept SAS, SATA and SSD media, though only four drive trays are included and no drives are installed.

16GB DDR4-2400 ECC with 384GB maximum

Memory starts at 16GB across two 8GB registered DIMMs in a 12-slot configuration, leaving ten free slots for expansion to the 384GB ceiling. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management are fitted, while front bezel and rack rails are not included.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16-bay 2.5-inch configuration or a smaller drive-count version?

The chassis provides 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays; only four drive trays are included, so you can start with four drives and add up to twelve more later.

What does the 2.1GHz base clock with 3.3GHz turbo mean for real workloads?

Each Xeon E5-2695 v4 runs at 2.1GHz base and can boost to 3.3GHz, giving 18 cores per processor for multi-threaded applications such as virtualization or databases.

How does the PERC H730P 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive performance?

The H730P supports 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so SSD throughput is capped at the controller's 12Gb/s SAS link speed.
