Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors deliver twenty cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. Two hundred fifty-six gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache complete the core platform.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that prioritise capacity over raw compute density. Organisations needing GPU acceleration, all-flash latency or single-thread frequency above 3.3 GHz should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 6 TB drives decide capacity

The array provides seventy-two terabytes raw before RAID overhead. Buyers who need more usable space or faster media must add shelves or choose a different server; the chassis cannot accept additional 3.5-inch drives.
