PowerEdge R730xd 12-bay 3.5" server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, a single Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processor at 2.4 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships without hard drives and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller, dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management.

Suited for capacity-focused workloads

The twelve-bay chassis and large installed memory make this system a good fit for backup repositories, media archives or virtualisation clusters that prioritise raw storage capacity over all-flash speed. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, a smaller tower form factor or drives included from the factory should consider other platforms.

Single Xeon E5-2680v4 with room for a second CPU

One 14-core Xeon E5-2680v4 is installed and the motherboard supports a second identical processor, so the decision point is whether your workloads can use the additional cores and the 768 GB maximum memory that a dual-CPU configuration unlocks.

Questions about this item

What does 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory mean for workloads running on this server?

The installed 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory provides error-correcting capacity for virtualization, databases and other memory-intensive tasks, and the system supports expansion up to 768GB total.

What does the PERC H730 SAS controller cap in practice for drive connectivity?

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to 12 x 3.5-inch SATA drives with hardware RAID, and its SAS lanes set the maximum throughput for the installed backplane.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U rackmount chassis need?

The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds; it mounts in a standard 2U rack space and a Dell sliding rail kit is available on request.
