Rack Server with 12 Drive Bays
This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around a 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 processor at 2.2 GHz, 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included. No drives are installed.
Suits Dense Storage Workloads
The 12 large-form-factor bays make this system a fit for backup targets, media archives or software-defined storage clusters that need high capacity per rack unit. The single 20-core CPU and 384 GB RAM handle moderate virtualization or database duties. Buyers who need a second processor, GPU acceleration or more than 768 GB of memory should look at a different platform.
Maximum Memory 768 GB DDR4
The motherboard supports up to 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. The current 384 GB configuration leaves half the slots free for future expansion. If your application demands more than 768 GB total, this server cannot meet that requirement.
