Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U rack frame, giving capacity-focused teams a single chassis for large datasets. Dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors deliver twenty cores at 2.3GHz, while 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory handles heavy virtualisation or database workloads.

Steady Throughput Under Load

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across all twelve bays without bottlenecks during sustained write streams. Dual 1100W supplies share the load so neither unit runs near its limit, keeping temperatures stable during multi-hour backup or analytics jobs.

Rack-Ready Build and Connectivity

Slide rails mount the 36-inch deep chassis in standard cabinets, and the integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence provides full remote console access day to day. Four onboard network ports — two at 10GbE and two at 1GbE — separate storage, management and client traffic without extra cards.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 1100W supplies draw when the R730xd runs 24/7 under load?

The server includes dual 1100W power supplies; actual draw depends on workload but each supply is rated for 1100W maximum output.

Which drive trays or caddies are required to populate the 12 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts 12 x 3.5-inch drives; Dell 3.5-inch hot-plug caddies are needed for each bay you populate.

Will the PERC H730 controller work with older 6Gbps SAS drives I already own?

The PERC H730 SAS controller supports SAS and SATA drives, so existing 6Gbps SAS drives will operate at their native speed.
