Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system designed for organisations that need dense, hot-pluggable 3.5-inch drive capacity in a standard cabinet. It ships with a single eight-core Xeon E5-2630v3 processor at 2.4 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory, leaving the second CPU socket open for future growth.

Capacity and headroom

Twelve front bays accept SAS or SATA drives, and the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with up to 52 TB of raw storage. Memory can scale to 1536 GB across 24 DDR4 DIMM slots running at 2400 MT/s, while six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot provide I/O expansion headroom.

Deciding specification

The twelve-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis combined with the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller defines whether this platform fits a workload that prioritises high-capacity spinning media over flash density or GPU compute.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 3.5" SAS drives work in the 12 hot-plug bays?

Yes, the chassis accepts up to 12 x 3.5" hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, so your current 3.5" SAS drives will fit and connect directly.

How can I verify the H730 RAID controller is active after installation?

During POST the H730 1GB 12Gbps controller initialises and displays its firmware version; you can also confirm it in the iDRAC8 interface under storage inventory.

Does the box include drive trays and a rail kit for a standard rack?

The unit ships with a power cable only; drive trays and a rail kit are not included and must be purchased separately.
