12-Bay 3.5" 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated by 4 TB enterprise SATA hard drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache.

Dual 14-Core Xeon for Virtualisation and Databases

Organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or database clusters will benefit from the two 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors and 128 GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU compute density or single-socket efficiency should evaluate other platforms.

12x 4 TB SATA Drives with PERC H730 RAID

The twelve 7.2K RPM SATA drives and H730 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This capacity and RAID flexibility decide whether the system matches your storage-node requirements.

Questions about this item

How often should I expect to replace the 7.2K RPM 4 TB SATA hard drives in the 12-bay array?

Enterprise 7.2K SATA drives typically run several years in a RAID 6 or RAID 10 set; plan to swap any drive that SMART flags or that the PERC H730 marks failed.

What limits sustained all-core performance of the two 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs?

The 2.0 GHz base clock and the 750 W platinum power budget cap continuous turbo; the C610 chipset and VRM design keep all 28 cores at base frequency under load.

How loud and hot does the 2U rack chassis get when the server runs 24/7?

Dual 750 W platinum PSUs and redundant hot-swap fans keep exhaust temperatures within Dell spec; noise is typical for a 2U rack server in a cooled aisle.
