Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, and a PERC H730 controller managing twelve 8 TB hard drives. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Ideal for storage-heavy roles

This configuration suits organisations running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, large databases, or high-performance computing data nodes that need many drive bays in a compact chassis. Buyers who require flash-only storage, GPU acceleration, or a smaller form factor should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through mode. Its battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss, which is the key factor for workloads that demand consistent data integrity across all twelve drive bays.
