2U 12-Bay Server with Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.40 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo. Each CPU provides 14 cores for a total of 28 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation.

This configuration suits organisations that need twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for high-capacity SATA or SAS arrays behind a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles heavy east-west traffic. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look elsewhere.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays define the storage ceiling

The single specification that determines fit is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays paired with the H730 controller. This fixes the maximum number of spinning disks or SATA SSDs at twelve and limits the storage protocol to SAS or SATA. If the workload demands more bays or a different drive form factor, another chassis is required.
