DELL PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 16GB DDR4 3×600GB SAS H730

Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with ten cores at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 600 GB 15 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays complete the chassis.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This configuration fits environments that need high-capacity SAS storage in a compact 2U form factor, such as backup repositories, archive nodes or database servers with modest compute demands. Buyers who require a second processor installed, more than sixteen gigabytes of memory from the outset, or PCIe expansion beyond six slots should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H730 1 GB 12 Gbps controller, which together determine how many SAS or SATA drives can be added and which RAID levels are available. This combination sets the storage ceiling at 52 TB and dictates whether the server matches the capacity and redundancy profile your workload requires.
