Capacity & Workload Fit

This 2U rack server delivers twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 4 TB enterprise SATA drives and a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors provide 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo, backed by 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete a platform designed for dense storage workloads.

Ideal For Storage-Heavy Nodes

The combination of high drive count, hardware RAID and quad-port 1 GbE plus dual 10 Gb SFP+ networking suits virtual desktop infrastructure, database and data-warehouse deployments that prioritise capacity over raw compute density. Buyers who need more than two processors, all-flash arrays, GPU acceleration or memory beyond the 1.5 TB DDR4 ceiling should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Bays Decide Fit

The fixed twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis and SATA/SAS backplane set the storage ceiling; expansion beyond 12 drives requires a different enclosure. If the workload demands that exact bay count with hardware RAID and dual 10 Gb uplinks, this server matches the requirement.

Questions about this item

How long will the PERC H730 controller battery last before it needs replacing?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache; typical service life is several years, after which the battery module can be swapped without removing the controller.

Which component reaches its limit first when all twelve 7.2K SATA drives sustain heavy write workloads?

The 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller and 6 Gb/s drive links set the sustained throughput ceiling before the dual 16-core Xeons or 128 GB DDR4 become bottlenecks.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 750 W platinum PSUs and twelve 3.5" drives running continuously?

Dual platinum supplies and hot-swap fans keep power draw efficient; expect elevated but data-centre-typical fan noise and exhaust heat under 24/7 operation.
