Dell PowerEdge R730xd 12-Bay Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting up to twelve 3.5-inch drives. The unit includes dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management.

Suited for dense storage workloads

The twelve-bay chassis suits environments that need high local capacity such as backup repositories, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Integrated graphics and a single CPU socket limit make it a poor fit for virtualisation hosts that require GPU passthrough or more than two processors. Buyers who need more than 768GB of RAM or additional PCIe slots should evaluate larger platforms.

Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 at 2.1GHz

Each of the two installed processors delivers sixteen cores and 40MB of cache, providing thirty-two threads total for multi-threaded applications. The 2.1GHz base frequency balances throughput with power draw under the 1100W redundant supply. This CPU configuration determines the licensing cost and performance ceiling for the deployment.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R730xd chassis support?

The chassis supports up to 12 drive bays for 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives, giving you dense local storage capacity in a 2U rack form factor.

What is the combined power draw of the two 1100W supplies under full load?

Each of the two 1100W power supplies can deliver up to 1100 watts, providing redundant power for both Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors and a full complement of 12 drives.

Does the PERC H730 controller require a specific cache module to enable RAID 5 or 6?

The PERC H730 RAID controller includes on-board cache and supports RAID 5 and 6 without an additional cache module, though a battery-backed cache option is available separately.
