12-Bay 2U Rack Server for Storage Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. A PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache manages the three included 2 TB SAS drives, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the system running.

Suited for Cold-Storage Archives, Not Heavy Compute

This configuration fits users who need dense, redundant SAS capacity in a compact rack footprint. The single CPU and modest 8 GB RAM limit virtualization density and database performance. Buyers who need more memory channels, a second processor or additional drive bays for larger arrays should look at other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Hot-Plug Bays Define Capacity

The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. The installed H730 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across those bays. This bay count and controller combination is the specification that determines whether the server matches your storage target.
