12-Bay 3.5-Inch Server for Storage Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch drives and ships with a PERC H730 SAS controller. One Xeon E5-2698 v4 processor running at 2.2 GHz with twenty cores is installed. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and integrated graphics. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Capacity and Headroom

Memory can grow to 768 GB across twenty-four slots, leaving headroom for larger datasets or virtualisation density. A second processor socket is empty, allowing a drop-in upgrade to twenty additional cores. Twelve drive bays support SATA or SAS media, but no drives are included so capacity starts at zero. The dual 1100 W supplies power the current configuration with margin.

Bundled Controller and Network Impact

The PERC H730 RAID controller provides hardware RAID for the twelve bays without consuming a PCIe slot. Dual-port 10 GbE and dual-port 1 GbE adapters are factory-installed, giving immediate high-throughput connectivity for storage replication or backup targets. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full out-of-band control, reducing the need for a separate KVM or crash cart.
