12-Bay Rack Server for Storage-Heavy Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U chassis, delivering high local capacity for backup, archive or software-defined storage clusters. Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide the compute and memory headroom for deduplication, compression or database caching. An integrated PERC H730 RAID controller manages the drive array with hardware acceleration.

Suited for Capacity-First Deployments.

Organisations that need maximum spindle count per rack unit and can populate the bays with SAS or SATA drives will match the chassis strength. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, single-socket efficiency or dense all-flash configurations should evaluate other chassis designs because the 12-bay layout and integrated graphics do not address those requirements.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Bays Define the Storage Ceiling

The twelve-drive limit sets the raw capacity ceiling and the maximum number of RAID groups you can create. With no drives installed, you choose the exact mix of SAS and SATA media to hit your performance and budget targets. The PERC H730 controller supports the RAID levels needed for redundancy, but the bay count remains the hard constraint on total terabytes.

Questions about this item

What does the PERC H730 SAS controller cap in real-world throughput?

The PERC H730 SAS controller handles up to 12 Gb/s per port, so each 3.5" drive bay is limited by the SATA link speed rather than the controller itself.

What physical space and rails does the 12-bay 3.5" chassis need to mount in a standard rack?

The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 lb; it requires a 2U rack opening and compatible sliding rails for secure mounting.

How is the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence activated, and what step do people miss?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to its IP, log in with the default credentials, then apply the Enterprise licence key before configuring remote management policies.
