Dense memory rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory into a 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis. Dual 1100W supplies and a PERC H730 SAS controller with SATA drive support provide the foundation for storage-heavy workloads.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing maximum RAM per
Database clusters, in-memory analytics and multi-tenant VM farms benefit from the 768GB ceiling and twelve drive bays. Buyers who want more storage bays than twelve, more than two processor sockets, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative platforms.
Single specification that decides fit
The installed memory reaches the platform maximum of 768GB DDR4 with both CPU sockets populated; no further RAM can be added without replacing modules or moving to a different server generation.

Questions about this item
Does the server ship with any 3.5-inch drives installed or must I purchase them separately?
No drives are installed; the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis is empty so you must supply your own SATA or SAS drives.
Which RAID controller is fitted and how many drive bays can it manage?
A PERC H730 SAS controller is installed and it supports all 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays.
What does the 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory mean for actual workloads?
The system arrives with 768 GB of registered ECC DDR4 already populated, reaching the platform maximum for large in-memory databases or virtualisation.
