Poweredge R730 R730XD
The Dell PowerEdge R730 and R730xd are versatile 13th generation (13G) 2U rack servers known for their balance of performance and storage capacity, making them popular choices for data centers and enterprise applications, especially in the used and refurbished server market.
The key distinction is storage: the R730xd (extra density) offers significantly greater drive bay count and flexibility compared to the standard R730.
Summary of Differences
The R730xd is the best choice when:
- You need maximum local storage density and capacity in a 2U space.
- Your application is storage-intensive (e.g., scale-out storage, big data).
- You want hybrid storage tiering (mixing high-speed SSDs and high-capacity HDDs in one chassis).
The R730 is the best choice when:
- You need excellent processing and memory capacity but don't require the R730xd's extreme storage density.
- You require the full 7 PCIe slots (the R730xd sacrifices one PCIe slot for more storage routing).
