2U 12-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and twelve 8 TB hard drives. The system targets enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing nodes.

Dual-socket capacity and storage density

Organisations that need two processors and twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a compact rack height will match this configuration. Buyers who require more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two CPUs or solid-state drives installed from the factory should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 storage controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the twelve SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support plus pass-through mode. This controller choice determines the RAID levels and drive connectivity available without additional hardware.
