PowerEdge R730xd 2U 12-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors each run at 2.4 GHz with six cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the twelve installed 6 TB 7.2K SATA drives.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high-capacity local storage in a compact rack footprint, such as data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure or database nodes. The dual-socket design and 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 1.5 TB for heavier consolidation. Buyers who require all-flash performance, GPU compute density or a single-socket platform should evaluate other form factors because this chassis is built around 3.5-inch mechanical drives and dual processors.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 controller, which provides 1 GB of battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines the achievable redundancy, rebuild performance and maximum logical volume size for the twelve 6 TB SATA drives. Verify that the RAID levels and cache protection meet the application's availability requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack-mounting hardware is included with the server so I can install it in my cabinet?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included with the system for immediate rack installation.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the twelve installed 3.5-inch SATA drives together in a single array?

The H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all twelve drive bays using 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity.

How can I verify the two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors and 128GB of DDR4 memory are recognised after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC8 Enterprise interface; both will display two 6-core CPUs at 2.4GHz and 128GB of registered ECC DDR4 across the memory slots.
