2U Server with 26 Drive Bays

This 2U rack server delivers high-density storage in a compact form factor. It is built for data-intensive workloads such as software-defined storage, big-data analytics, backup repositories and media archives. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors provide 20 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory is installed across eight 32 GB modules.

Suits Storage-Focused Deployments

Organisations that need maximum 3.5-inch drive capacity in two rack units will benefit from the 26 hot-swap trays and the HBA330 controller. The dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management support continuous operation and remote administration. Buyers who require integrated hardware RAID acceleration should evaluate alternative configurations.

HBA330 Controller Defines Storage Logic

The Dell PERC HBA330 Mini 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller presents drives directly to the operating system without on-board RAID processing. This makes the server appropriate for software-defined storage stacks that manage redundancy and performance in software. Workloads that depend on a hardware RAID engine will need a different controller card.
