Dell PowerEdge R730xd 12-Bay Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management. Dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard. It is built for organisations that need dense storage and compute in a single rack unit.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

The twelve-bay layout and 768GB maximum memory make this platform a good fit for backup repositories, software-defined storage clusters or virtualisation hosts that demand high core counts and large RAM capacity. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than twelve drive bays or a smaller form factor should consider other platforms. The integrated graphics and 10GbE networking cover basic display and connectivity without extra cards.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that decides suitability is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays backed by the PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. This combination defines the raw storage capacity and RAID levels available. If the workload requires a different bay count, 2.5-inch bays or an alternative controller, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller 10-bay 2.5-inch version?

The R730xd shown here has a 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis that holds up to 12 large-form-factor drives; the 10-bay 2.5-inch model is a different chassis not described in this listing.

What does 128 GB DDR4 actually give me when the server is running?

128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the two processors, leaving headroom to expand to 768 GB if workloads grow.

The PERC H730 is a SAS controller — what drive speeds does it cap in practice?

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages the backplane at 12 Gb/s per lane, while the installed drives use the SATA interface at 6 Gb/s.
