Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.60 GHz, each providing 8 cores. A total of 512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across 16 modules. The platform supports up to 1.5 TB maximum capacity across 24 slots.

Storage-focused builds and virtualisation clusters

This server suits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from dense internal storage. The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis holds twelve 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Buyers needing all-flash arrays or GPU compute density should evaluate other platforms because the chassis and controller are designed around spinning media.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the 12-bay 3.5-inch SATA/SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines raw capacity, redundancy options and I/O throughput for the workload. Network connectivity is provided by an Intel X520/I350 quad-port daughter card offering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 12 drive bays populated and the rails included?

The unit includes 12× 4 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5" drives filling every bay and ready rails are supplied.

Should I choose the H730 controller with 1 GB cache or a different RAID card for this chassis?

The H730 1 GB mini controller is the installed card and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 plus pass-through.

How much usable space will the 12× 4 TB drives give me under RAID 6 with the H730?

RAID 6 on 12 drives yields roughly 40 TB raw capacity before formatting and overhead.
