Rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R730xd holds twelve 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and ships with 8TB enterprise disks installed in every bay. Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors run at 2.6GHz with a 3.4GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache.

Suits storage-dense workloads.

Organisations building data-warehouse nodes, VDI storage tiers or HPC data nodes can use the twelve-bay chassis and quad-port 1GbE/10GbE networking. Buyers who need more memory channels per CPU or a newer instruction set should evaluate other platforms. The LGA 2011-3 socket and C610 chipset limit upgrades to the same processor generation.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis defines capacity

The 2U rack height fits twelve 3.5-inch drives, fixing the maximum raw storage at the installed disk count. No additional 3.5-inch bays exist inside the chassis, so capacity expansion requires external enclosures or a different server model.

Questions about this item

When do the 750 Watt power supplies become the bottleneck during continuous operation?

The dual 750 Watt platinum units deliver redundant power, so sustained load is limited by the 2.6 GHz Xeon E5-2640 v3 thermal envelope rather than the PSU rating.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get when all twelve 8 TB drives spin 24/7?

Twelve 7.2K SATA drives plus dual CPUs push significant airflow through the 2U chassis; expect noticeable fan noise and warm exhaust under full sustained load.

Which SFP+ modules and cables must I already own to use the X520 10 GbE ports?

The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ ports that require compatible SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables purchased separately.
