Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server that fits twelve 3.5-inch drive bays into a compact chassis. Dual 18-core Xeon processors and 64GB of DDR4 ECC memory provide the compute foundation for data-intensive workloads.

Suited for capacity-first workloads

This platform fits midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes where raw capacity and redundant power matter. Buyers who need all-flash speed, a smaller rack footprint or more than two processor sockets should look at a different platform.

Twelve 8TB drives on a PERC H730 controller

The server ships with twelve 7.2K SATA 8TB hard drives connected to a Dell PERC H730 1GB controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single specification determines whether the storage density and RAID flexibility match the target workload.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12x 8TB 3.5" SATA drives into the 12-bay 2U chassis?

Slide each drive into the front hot-swap bays until the latch clicks; the PERC H730 will detect them on the next boot for RAID configuration.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 1GB controller battery need?

The battery-backed write cache typically lasts several years; iDRAC8 Enterprise will alert you when the battery health drops below the replacement threshold.

Which limit appears first when all 18-core Xeons run at 2.3GHz continuously?

The dual 750W Platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained turbo at 3.6GHz across both CPUs will draw more power than the PSUs can deliver continuously.
