Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for capacity-intensive workloads. Two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz provide 12 total cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730 controller manages twelve 6 TB 7.2 K SATA drives.

Capacity-Focused Buyers

This configuration suits teams that need high raw capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The twelve 3.5-inch bays are populated with 7.2 K SATA drives for bulk storage. Buyers who require lower latency or higher IOPS should consider all-flash alternatives. The dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise support continuous operation.

Twelve-Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch drive cage paired with the H730 RAID controller. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This layout determines how many drives can be installed and which RAID levels are available. Verify that the bay count and controller match your storage design before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12-bay 3.5-inch model or a smaller chassis for my storage needs?

The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis holds the 12 installed 6 TB drives and leaves no empty 3.5-inch slots, so choose it when you need maximum capacity in a 2U rack space.

What does the 2.4 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo mean for my workloads?

Each of the two 6-core Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs runs at 2.4 GHz base and can boost to 3.2 GHz, giving 12 threads that scale with bursty database or virtualization tasks.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730 controller limit drive performance?

The H730’s 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface caps each drive at the controller’s 12 Gb/s lane speed, while the 7.2 K RPM SATA drives themselves top out at 6 Gb/s.
