12-Bay Rack Server for Dense Storage
This 2U rack-mount server holds up to twelve 3.5-inch drives and ships with two Xeon E5-2660v3 processors running at 2.6GHz. It targets organisations that need high local capacity for backup, archive or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who want a compact tower or a GPU-dense node should look elsewhere.
Dual Ten-Core CPUs and 256GB DDR4 Under Load
The pair of ten-core processors delivers twenty threads and 25MB cache each, while 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large in-memory datasets. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across the drive bays, and dual 1100W supplies maintain power during sustained write-heavy workloads. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise handle remote console duties without adding thermal load.
Slide-In Rails and Controller Cabling
The chassis accepts standard rack rails that are available on request, and the 12-bay backplane connects directly to the H730 controller with minimal cable routing. Installers must populate drives and configure RAID before the array becomes visible to the OS. Missing drive carriers or mismatched SAS/SATA cables are the most common delays during first boot.

Questions about this item
How much noise and heat do the dual 1100 W supplies and two 2.6 GHz Xeons produce under constant load?
The server ships with two 1100 W power supplies and dual 10-core Xeon E5-2660v3 processors; Dell does not publish acoustic or thermal ratings for this configuration, so exact decibel and heat-output figures are unavailable.
Which drives, cables and rails must I already own to populate the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis?
The 12 LFF bays accept 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives; the PERC H730 controller uses standard SAS cables, and the rail kit is optional, so you need to supply drives, cables and rails yourself.
Can the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management work with my older Dell servers that run iDRAC7?
iDRAC8 Enterprise is a separate generation from iDRAC7; each server manages itself independently, so the new R730xd will not share a single console with iDRAC7 systems.
