5U rack server with 50 SATA drives
The Dell PowerEdge XE7100 is a 5U rack server populated with 50 16 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives and four 960 GB SATA SSDs inside the two XE7420 compute nodes. Dual Intel Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz with 10 cores each and 64 GB of DDR4 memory provide the compute foundation. Dual H745 PERC controllers and an H730P RAID controller manage the storage array. Two 2400 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.
Suits high-capacity archive workloads
This configuration serves organisations that need dense, high-capacity SATA storage in a single 5U chassis with dual-node redundancy. The 100 drive bays allow future expansion beyond the 50 installed drives. Buyers who require GPU accelerators or a smaller chassis with fewer drive bays should look at a different platform.
100 3.5-inch drive bays decide fit
The chassis provides 100 3.5-inch drive bays, which is the single specification that determines whether this server can accommodate the required storage density. If the deployment needs fewer bays or a different form factor, this model will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item
Does the server ship with rails and power cords, or must they be purchased separately?
Rails and power cords are included with the XE7100, so no separate purchase is needed for basic rack mounting and power connection.
Should I choose the dual Silver 4210 2.2 GHz 10-core configuration or a higher-core-count option for this 2-node XE7100?
This unit is built with two Silver 4210 processors at 2.2 GHz, 14 MB cache, 10 cores each, giving 20 total cores across both XE7420 nodes.
How does the 64 GB DDR4-3200 memory and dual H745 RAID configuration perform in a live 50-drive array?
The system provides 64 GB DDR4 PC4-3200 across four 16 GB modules and dual H745 controllers managing the 50 installed 16 TB SATA drives through the H730P RAID controller.
