Dell PowerEdge R730xd 12-Bay 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays accept SATA or SAS drives for high-capacity arrays.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This server fits midsize and large enterprises running databases, VDI, data warehouses or high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap trays support continuous operation. Buyers who require installed drives or more than two processor sockets should consider other configurations.

12 x 3.5-inch SATA/SAS drive bays define capacity

The chassis holds exactly twelve 3.5-inch trays with no drives included. Maximum memory reaches 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots. The PERC H730 handles SAS and SATA RAID with battery-backed cache. Two LGA 2011-3 sockets are fully populated. Expansion uses the Intel C610 chipset. Select drives and memory to match the workload.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any hard drives or do I need to buy 3.5" SAS/SATA drives separately?

The unit includes 12 empty 3.5" drive trays; no hard drives are installed so you must supply SAS or SATA drives yourself.

Which memory configuration is already populated in the 24 DDR4 slots?

Eight 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules are installed for 128 GB total, leaving 16 slots free for expansion up to 1.5 TB.

What RAID levels can the PERC H730 controller handle with the 12 drive bays?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, so any standard array across the 12 bays is possible.
