Dense 2U storage server

The PowerEdge R730xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis, delivering high-capacity local storage for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or HPC data nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz provide twelve cores and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory supports concurrent workloads. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise enable resilient remote management.

Suited for capacity-first workloads

This server suits teams that need many large SATA or SAS hard drives behind a hardware RAID controller with battery-backed cache. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, GPU-dense compute or all-flash bays that accept only solid-state media should evaluate different platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays with H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the deployment needs fewer bays, 2.5-inch form factors or a different RAID feature set, another chassis will be a better match.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.4 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo on the Xeon E5-2620 v3 mean for actual workloads?

The two six-core processors run at 2.4 GHz base and can boost to 3.2 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving strong single-thread response for databases and virtualization while keeping power draw predictable.

How does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive performance in this chassis?

The controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through at 12 Gb/s per port, so twelve 3.5-inch drives share that bandwidth; sustained throughput will cap at the controller's aggregate limit rather than individual drive speed.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U server need for installation?

The unit occupies two rack units, ships with ready rails for square-hole or threaded cabinets, and includes a front bezel; depth clearance must accommodate the chassis and cable bend radius behind the rear panel.
