2U Rack Server with 12 Bays

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, each running at 2.6 GHz with 8 cores and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and twelve 6 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives managed by a PERC H730 controller.

Suited for Storage-Heavy Roles

This configuration fits organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes that prioritise raw capacity and redundant power. The twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual 750 W platinum power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers who need solid-state performance, faster drive protocols or GPU acceleration should look at a different platform.

PERC H730 RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component determines the achievable redundancy, throughput and maximum logical volume size for the twelve installed drives.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 12 drive bays populated, or do I need to buy drives separately?

All 12 bays are filled with 6TB 7.2K SATA drives, so no additional drives are required for the base configuration.

Should I choose a single-processor or dual-processor configuration for this model?

The system already contains two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, reaching the maximum of two sockets.

What RAID levels can the installed PERC H730 controller handle in production?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, backed by its 1GB battery-backed cache.
