Dense 12-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis, making it suited for archives, backup targets or media libraries that need high capacity in limited rack space. Two Xeon E5-2680v4 processors at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC memory provide the compute headroom for concurrent storage workloads.

Steady throughput under load

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across all twelve bays while dual 1100 W supplies share the load, so sustained sequential reads and writes stay consistent during long backup windows or replication jobs. iDRAC8 Enterprise gives remote console and sensor logging so operators can track thermal trends without visiting the rack.

Check rack depth and network uplinks

The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so confirm your cabinet can accommodate that length with cable management. Verify that your top-of-rack switches have enough 10 GbE and 1 GbE ports for the installed Intel I350 and X540 adapters, and plan drive procurement separately because no drives ship with the unit.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 1100W supplies draw when the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2680v4 CPUs run at full load all day?

The system ships with two 1100W power supplies; actual draw depends on workload and drive count, but the units provide redundant 1100W capacity for the 2.4GHz 14-core processors.

Which drive trays and cables must I already have to populate the 12-bay 3.5" chassis with SATA or SAS disks?

The 12LFF chassis accepts 3.5" SATA or SAS drives; trays and backplane cables are specific to the R730xd 12-bay model and are not included with the no-drive configuration.

Will the PERC H730 RAID controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise manage older 3.5" SAS drives I keep from a previous Dell server?

The PERC H730 supports SAS and SATA drives, and iDRAC8 Enterprise provides remote monitoring; compatibility with specific legacy drives depends on drive firmware and backplane wiring.
