Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount system built for workloads that demand high capacity in a compact form factor. Dual 12-core Xeon processors at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo deliver strong multi-threaded throughput. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across four modules supports virtualisation and database tasks.

Fits dense capacity needs, not compute-only builds

This server suits teams running data warehouses, VDI hosts or HPC data nodes that benefit from twelve 3.5-inch bays fully populated with 6 TB SATA drives. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 6 TB drives decide the fit

Raw capacity of twelve 6 TB SATA disks is the defining spec; it determines whether the chassis meets your retention or throughput targets before you consider CPU or memory upgrades.

Questions about this item

Can I keep using my current DDR4-2133 ECC RDIMMs to fill the remaining 20 slots alongside the 64 GB already installed?

Yes — the system accepts DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules up to 1.5 TB total across 24 slots.

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller sees all twelve 6 TB drives and the battery-backed cache is healthy?

Open the H730 BIOS utility or iDRAC8 Enterprise storage view; it will list each 3.5" 7.2K SATA drive, show RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 status and confirm the 1 GB cache battery condition.

Which items ship in the box — rails, bezel, power cords, network transceivers — and what must I source separately?

Rails and front bezel are included; two 750 W platinum PSUs are installed. SFP+ transceivers for the X520 10 GbE ports and power cords for your PDU type are not included.
