DELL PowerEdge R730xd 12LFF 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 2.1GHz 512GB DDR4 rack server

12-Bay 3.5" Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server built around a 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage, while integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management handle display and out-of-band administration.

Suits High-Capacity Storage Builds

This configuration suits buyers who need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity with dual-processor compute in a 2U form factor. The 12 large-form-factor bays support SATA and SAS hard drives for large-volume arrays. Builders who need a smaller chassis, fewer drive bays, or single-processor density should look at a different platform.

12 Large-Form-Factor Drive Bays

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis that determines how many spinning drives can be installed. With 512GB of DDR4 already populated and a maximum of 768GB supported, memory headroom remains for growth. Confirm the bay count matches your storage design before ordering.
