Description
Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2U Server | 2x Xeon E5-2697 v3 (28C/56T) | 128GB RAM | 2x 400GB SSD | HBA330 | Rails | Bezel | 24 Caddies
Deploy high-density storage, multi-tenant virtualization, and software-defined storage architectures with this complete turnkey Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay 2.5" SFF 2U Rackmount Server. Built around the high-core-count Haswell-EP platform, this server is equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 14-Core processors delivering a massive 28 physical cores and 56 execution threads, backed by an expansive 128GB of high-speed DDR4 ECC Registered memory.
This configuration features the highly sought-after Dell PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS Host Bus Adapter. Unlike standard hardware RAID controllers that require awkward cross-flashing or virtual disk setups, the HBA330 operates in native IT-mode / non-RAID pass-through, presenting raw drives directly to the operating system. This makes it the premier, zero-overhead storage foundation for TrueNAS CORE/SCALE, ZFS storage pools, Proxmox VE, Unraid, VMware vSAN, and Ceph clusters.
Buy with confidence from an experienced enterprise datacenter hardware seller:
- Compute & Memory Audit: Clean corporate decommission. Boot-tested to POST and BIOS initialized: both Xeon E5-2697 v3 CPUs verify cleanly, all 28 cores / 56 threads detect properly, and the 128GB DDR4 ECC memory pool tests balanced across multi-channel operation without errors.
- Drive Health & Data Sanitization: The installed 2x 400GB Enterprise SSDs have been securely wiped, cleared of partitions, and verified for 100% operational health and fast I/O throughput.
- iDRAC8 Enterprise Verified: Dedicated remote management port fully tested, license validated, and reset to factory default credentials.
