12-Bay 3.5-Inch 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with six cores each. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and ready rails are installed.

Suits Storage-Heavy Workloads Not Compute-Only

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The twelve 4 TB SATA hard drives and PERC H730 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need all-flash arrays or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

24 DDR4 Slots Up to 1.5 TB Maximum Memory

The motherboard provides 24 DIMM slots for DDR4 registered ECC modules with a maximum supported capacity of 1.5 TB. Current population uses four slots leaving twenty slots available for expansion. Memory speed runs at 2133 MHz. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset define the processor upgrade path.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12x 4TB 3.5" hard drives into the front bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a 3.5" bay until the lever clicks; the step often missed is confirming the PERC H730 controller detects every drive in the BIOS before creating RAID volumes.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The 12x 4TB 7.2K SATA drives and the two 750W platinum power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; both are hot-swappable.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs run at 3.2GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750W platinum PSU pair sets the power ceiling; sustained 3.2GHz turbo on both 6-core processors can hit that limit before thermal throttling engages.
