Dell PowerEdge R730xd 12-Bay Server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processor at 2.6 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays backed by a PERC H730 SAS controller. Integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Suited for storage-dense workloads

The twelve-bay layout and 768 GB memory ceiling make it a fit for backup targets, archival repositories or virtualisation clusters that prioritise capacity over GPU acceleration. Buyers who need more than two sockets, 10 GbE density beyond the installed adapters, or a compact tower form factor should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the combination of twelve large-form-factor bays and the hardware RAID controller. If the deployment requires that exact bay count and controller, this unit matches; if fewer bays or a different controller are needed, another chassis is appropriate.

Questions about this item

What type of hard drives do I need to add for the 12 3.5-inch bays to work?

The server accepts SATA drives for the 12 3.5-inch bays and the PERC H730 SAS controller manages them.

Will the single Xeon E5-2640 v3 at 2.6GHz limit performance if I later add a second processor?

The board supports up to two processors, so a second Xeon can be added without removing the first one.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence is active after the firmware update?

Log into the iDRAC web interface; the dashboard shows the Enterprise licence status once the server finishes POST.
