Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. A PERC H730 controller manages twelve 4 TB enterprise hard drives.

Suits high-capacity storage nodes

This server fits environments that need large raw capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure or backup targets. The twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports support high-throughput access. Buyers who need more than twelve drive bays or who require solid-state media as standard should look at alternative configurations.

12-bay 3.5-inch drive chassis

The defining constraint is the twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays paired with the H730 RAID controller. This layout fixes the maximum spindle count and the drive form factor for the deployment. Verify that the bay count and 3.5-inch form factor match the storage design before purchasing.
