Dense 3.5-inch Capacity for Enterprise Workloads

This 2U rack server delivers twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual 14-core Xeon processors at 2.0 GHz with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It is built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes that need high internal storage density.

Suited for Capacity-First Deployments.

The twelve-bay chassis and PERC H730 controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through target buyers who need large SAS or SATA arrays. Organisations requiring only a few drives or a smaller form factor should look at something else.

Twelve 3.5-inch Bays Define the Storage Ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays with no drives included; it sets the maximum raw capacity and determines whether the PERC H730 can deliver the RAID level your workload demands.

Questions about this item

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache; plan to replace the battery module every 3 to 5 years to preserve write-cache protection during power loss.

What limits sustained throughput on the 10 GbE SFP+ ports?

The Intel X520 dual 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces cap sustained network throughput at 10 Gbps per port; CPU or storage subsystems may saturate before the network does.

How loud and hot does the dual 750 W PSU setup run under 24/7 load?

Two 750 W platinum supplies share the load, keeping fan speeds moderate; typical idle noise is low, rising to noticeable but not extreme levels under full CPU and drive utilisation.
