Dense storage server for cold data

This 2U rack system delivers twelve 3.5" hot-plug bays populated with three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives behind a PERC H730 RAID controller. A single Xeon E5-2650 v3 provides ten cores at 2.3 GHz with 16 GB of DDR4 installed across 24 DIMM slots. Dual 750 W redundant supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the package.

Suits archives, backup targets and media libraries

The twelve-bay chassis and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 make it a fit for sequential workloads that value capacity over latency. Organisations needing all-flash performance, more than twelve drive bays, a second CPU pre-installed or pre-loaded operating system images should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5" hot-plug bays define the capacity

With a 52 TB raw maximum across the twelve slots, the bay count is the single constraint that determines whether this chassis can hold the required dataset. Verify the total terabytes needed before committing to this form factor.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections do I need for this 2U server with dual 750W supplies?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and requires two PDU outlets for the redundant 750W hot-swap power supplies.

Can my existing 6Gbps SAS drives share the 12-bay backplane with the three installed 1TB 7.2K SATA drives?

Yes, the 12 hot-plug bays accept both SAS and SATA drives, so 6Gbps SAS units can be mixed with the supplied 7.2K SATA drives.

How do I confirm the H730 RAID controller is healthy and the array is optimal after first boot?

Open the H730 BIOS utility or iDRAC8 interface; both show controller status, battery health and each virtual disk reported as Optimal.
