Dell PowerEdge R730xd 4x3.5" Mid Drive Kit

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd 4x 3.5" Mid Drive Kit is designed to expand the storage capacity of your server by adding four additional 3.5-inch drive bays at the mid-chassis position. This kit supports both SATA and SAS hard drives or solid-state drives, and can accommodate 2.5-inch drives with the appropriate adapter. Ideal for applications requiring additional storage without compromising front or rear drive bay availability, this mid drive kit integrates seamlessly into the R730xd system architecture.

Installation of the mid drive kit is straightforward; however, please note that it does not support hot-plug capability on its own. To enable hot-swap functionality, a compatible backplane and appropriate cabling are required. By utilizing the mid-chassis area, this solution provides a flexible approach to increasing storage density, making it suitable for data-intensive environments where space optimization is critical. Ensure compatibility with your existing system configuration to fully leverage the benefits of this storage expansion option.
