Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual 14-core Xeon processors into a 2U rack chassis. It targets organisations that need high local capacity for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse workloads without expanding to a larger rack footprint.

SATA throughput ceiling

Each of the twelve installed 4 TB drives connects through a 6 Gb/s SATA link to the PERC H730 controller, so sustained array performance is bounded by the SATA interface rather than the controller’s 12 Gb/s SAS capability. The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, but the drives themselves set the practical bandwidth limit.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC

Twenty-four 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz RDIMMs fill every memory slot, reaching half the 1.5 TB maximum the C610 chipset allows. Buyers who need more than 768 GB must replace modules rather than add them, and the board accepts only DDR4 registered ECC memory.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 12-bay 3.5" model or a different bay count for my storage needs?

This server is the 12-bay 3.5" configuration, providing twelve drive slots for the installed 4TB SATA hard drives.

What does the 2.4GHz base clock with 3.3GHz turbo mean for actual workload performance?

The two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors run at 2.4GHz base and can boost to 3.3GHz, delivering 28 total cores for multi-threaded applications.

How does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive throughput in practice?

The H730 controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA, so the installed 6Gb/s SATA drives operate at their native interface speed.
