Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays, dual 14-core Xeon processors at 2.0 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. A PERC H730 controller manages twelve 4 TB 7.2 K SATA drives, while an Intel X520/I350 card adds two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports. Redundant 750 W platinum supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the package.

Suits capacity-first workloads

This configuration fits archives, backup targets, media libraries and similar workloads that prioritise raw terabytes over low latency. The 7.2 K SATA drives and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller are not aimed at high-IOPS databases or all-flash performance tiers, and the platform maxes out at two processors and 1.5 TB of memory.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis

The defining constraint is the 2U enclosure with twelve 3.5-inch drive slots; it sets the storage ceiling and the rack footprint. Buyers needing more bays, 2.5-inch density or a different rack height must choose another chassis.
