12-bay 3.5" rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for dense local storage. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processor running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores and 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch drives and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Storage-focused workloads

The twelve-bay chassis suits workloads that prioritise high-capacity hard-disk arrays such as backup repositories, archival storage or media libraries. The single-socket configuration leaves a second processor socket open for future expansion. Buyers who need more than twelve drive bays or a larger installed memory footprint out of the box should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 SAS controller

The installed PERC H730 RAID controller governs every drive connection in this server. It provides hardware RAID across SAS and SATA drives and defines the maximum array configuration. Confirm that this controller matches your RAID-level requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12-bay 3.5" chassis or a smaller 10-bay version?

The 12-bay 3.5" chassis gives you the maximum drive count available on this platform; the 10-bay variant simply reduces capacity without changing the CPU or memory limits.

What does the 2.4 GHz 14-core Xeon E5-2680v4 deliver in daily use?

2.4 GHz across 14 cores with 35 MB cache handles virtualisation and database workloads; a second socket can be added later to double the core count.

Does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit me to SATA speeds or can it run SAS drives at full rate?

The PERC H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives; SAS devices run at their native 12 Gb/s link speed while SATA drives operate at 6 Gb/s.
