Dense 12-bay 2U server with dual 22-core Xeons

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with 55 MB cache each into a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller, while storage drives and rail kit are ordered separately. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides full remote management out of the box.

Buyers needing maximum internal HDD capacity in 2U

This configuration suits archives, backup targets and dense object stores that can fill twelve large-form-factor bays with SATA or SAS hard drives. Organisations that need more than two sockets, faster single-thread speed or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms. The installed 1100 W redundant power supplies support the current load with headroom for additional drives.

PERC H730 RAID controller dictates drive topology

The H730 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all twelve bays and presents virtual disks to the operating system. Drive choice, array layout and spare strategy are the decisions that determine usable capacity and resilience. Memory can grow to 768 GB if workloads later demand more headroom.

Questions about this item

What SATA speed does the PERC H730 controller cap the twelve 3.5-inch bays at in practice?

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages the twelve 3.5-inch bays through a SATA interface; actual throughput depends on the drives installed and the RAID level chosen.

What rack depth and rail clearance does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis require?

The unit measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high, so a standard 42U rack with at least 36 inches of usable depth and matching square-hole rails is needed.

How are the two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the dual sockets and the 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs populate the memory channels; the step often missed is verifying the firmware is updated to the latest stable version before first boot.
