Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U rack chassis. A single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory handle compute duties. Three 300 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide the initial storage foundation.

Suited for capacity-first workloads

This configuration serves archives, backup targets and cold-data repositories where raw capacity matters more than single-thread speed. Buyers who need more compute threads, larger memory footprints or all-flash performance should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays decide fit

The chassis accepts up to twelve SAS or SATA drives, capping raw capacity at 52 TB. If the deployment requires more bays, 2.5-inch density or a different form factor, this server will not meet the requirement.
