Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high internal capacity. Dual Xeon ten-core processors running at 2.3 GHz deliver 40 threads for multi-threaded applications. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a Perc H730 RAID controller support mixed read-write tasks in database or virtualisation clusters.

Twelve-Bay Hot-Plug Chassis

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives, allowing failed disks to be swapped without downtime. The installed H730 controller provides 1 GB cache and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible redundancy. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. A DVD-ROM drive is included for legacy media access.

Memory-Capped Configuration

The system ships with 16 GB across 24 DIMM slots, yet the specification lists maximum installed memory at 16 GB, limiting consolidation-heavy deployments. Three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives offer low latency but modest raw capacity. Buyers needing larger memory footprints or all-flash arrays should plan additional investment before deployment.
