Dense 12-bay 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each with 22 cores at 2.2 GHz, and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory in a 2U rack chassis. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays come populated with 4 TB 7.2 K SATA hard drives behind a PERC H730 controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for capacity-first workloads

The twelve-bay layout and large memory footprint suit data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure nodes, database servers and high-performance computing data nodes that prioritise raw terabytes over low-latency flash. Buyers who need all-flash performance or smaller form-factor density should evaluate alternative platforms.

12-bay 3.5-inch SATA capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays backed by the H730 RAID controller; it fixes maximum drive count, interface protocol and RAID level support for the deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the dual E5-2699 v4 22-core CPUs or a single-processor option?

The chassis supports two processors and both sockets are already populated with 22-core Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs running at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, so there is no single-processor variant to choose.

What does 256 GB DDR4 actually give me in this server?

You get 256 GB of registered ECC DDR4-2400 memory installed across eight 32 GB modules, providing error-corrected capacity for virtualisation, databases or HPC workloads.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit the twelve 4 TB SATA drives?

The H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID controller manages all twelve 3.5-inch drives with 1 GB cache and battery backup, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.
