Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around two Xeon E5-2609v3 processors, each running at 1.9 GHz with six cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the baseline configuration.

Suits High-Density Drive Workloads

This chassis fits up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, making it a fit for storage-heavy applications such as software-defined storage nodes, backup targets or dense virtualization hosts. The installed memory reaches the specification ceiling of 32 GB, so buyers who need more RAM from day one must add modules themselves.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Drive Capacity

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H730 controller; it dictates how many drives you can populate and which RAID levels are available. If your design requires a different drive count, form factor or controller feature set, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 32 GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules up to the 1536 GB maximum?

The server ships with 32 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots. For light workloads the installed amount is adequate; memory-intensive tasks such as virtualisation or large databases will benefit from populating additional slots up to the 1536 GB limit.

What does the dual E5-2609v3 1.9 GHz six-core setup deliver in a live workload?

Two six-core Xeon processors at 1.9 GHz provide 12 total threads, suited to multi-threaded server tasks such as web hosting, file services or moderate virtualisation; single-thread performance matches the stated clock speed.

How does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller limit the 24-bay 2.5" SAS/SATA array?

The Perc H730 supports 12 Gbps SAS/SATA and RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across all 24 hot-plug bays; throughput caps at the controller's 12 Gbps link and the installed drive speeds.
