12-Bay Rack Server with Dual Xeon Processors
The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with ten cores and 25 MB cache. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and supports a maximum of 768 GB. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management.
Suited for Dense Storage
This configuration fits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity within a twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis for virtualisation, database or bulk-storage roles. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, memory beyond 768 GB, or drive bays exceeding twelve 3.5-inch slots should evaluate other platforms.
PERC H730 SAS Controller with Twelve 3.5-Inch Bays
The integrated PERC H730 RAID controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives, defining the storage density and redundancy options available in this chassis. Confirm that the controller feature set matches your RAID-level and throughput requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply my own 3.5" SATA drives to populate the 12 front bays?
Yes, the chassis provides 12 large-form-factor bays and the listing states no drives are installed, so you must add compatible 3.5" SATA drives yourself.
Will the PERC H730 controller recognise and manage older SATA disks I already own?
The PERC H730 SAS controller supports SATA drives, so existing SATA disks can be connected and configured in RAID volumes through the controller.
How can I confirm both Xeon E5-2660v3 CPUs and all 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory are detected after power-on?
During POST the BIOS will display two processors and 512 GB of memory; you can also verify the same counts in the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface once the server boots.
