Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drives into a 2U rack chassis, delivering high capacity in a compact footprint. A single ten-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 at 2.3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 provide the compute base for storage-heavy workloads.

Adds bays and faster RAID over smaller platforms

Compared with 1U or eight-bay 2U systems, this chassis doubles the drive count to twelve and pairs it with a Perc H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The jump is worth it when datasets exceed eight spindles or when rebuild times demand 12 Gbps SAS connectivity.

Sustained throughput with redundant power

Dual 750 W hot-swap supplies keep the array and controller online during a module failure, while the H730’s 1 GB cache absorbs write bursts across the three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives. Six PCIe 3.0 slots remain available for additional NICs or HBAs without throttling the storage path.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R730XD chassis provide?

The chassis supports up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives.

What is the correct order for installing the PERC H730 RAID controller and its three 300 GB SAS drives?

Seat the H730 in the dedicated RAID slot first, then insert the drives; creating the virtual disk before the OS install is the step most often missed.

When will the two 750 W redundant power supplies need replacement?

Plan on swapping the power supplies after five to seven years of continuous operation, or sooner if a unit reports a fault via iDRAC8.
