Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual 14-core Xeon processors into a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC memory across twenty-four slots and a PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suited for capacity-heavy workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that prioritise raw drive count and memory capacity over processor frequency. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or a different drive form factor should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays

The defining spec is the twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays with no drives installed, letting you populate up to twelve high-capacity hard disks or SSDs behind a single PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.
