Dense 2U storage server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 12 large drives and two 22-core Xeon processors into a 2U rack chassis, delivering high raw capacity and strong multi-threaded compute in a compact footprint.

Buyers who need fewer drive bays

Teams that only need a handful of drives or modest CPU performance will find this configuration oversized; organisations requiring flash-only storage or newer instruction sets should evaluate platforms built around different architectures.

12-bay 3.5-inch drive capacity

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives, making the bay count the primary factor when deciding whether this server matches the storage density your workload demands.

The PERC H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

What physical space and rails are required to mount this 2U server?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and includes ready rails for tool-less mounting in standard four-post racks.

How are the twelve 3.5-inch drives installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front hot-swap bays; the carrier release lever must be fully latched to engage the backplane connector.
