Dense 12-bay storage server

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twelve 3.5-inch SATA hard drives behind a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. Dual 10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo and 128 GB of DDR4-2133 ECC memory deliver the compute headroom for database and virtualisation workloads. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, quad-port networking and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suited for capacity-first workloads

The twelve 6 TB 7.2 K drives and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller make this system a fit for bulk storage tiers, backup repositories and software-defined storage nodes where raw capacity per rack unit matters. Buyers who require flash performance tiers, GPU compute or more than two sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 with battery-backed cache

The installed H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, and its 1 GB battery-backed write cache protects in-flight data during power loss. This single component determines whether the array can sustain consistent write throughput and survive unexpected shutdowns without corruption.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can I add before the 24 slots are full?

The board accepts up to 1.5TB across 24 DDR4 slots; 128GB is already installed in 8 modules.

What heat and power load should I plan for with two 750W platinum supplies running continuously?

Dual 750W platinum units provide redundant hot-swap power; exact thermal output depends on workload and ambient conditions.

Which drive caddies and rails are required to populate the 12 3.5-inch bays?

The server includes ready rails and a front bezel; drive carriers for 3.5-inch SATA drives are also supplied.
