2U 12-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. A PERC H330 RAID controller and three 600 GB 15K SAS drives are installed. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the configuration. The system supports a second processor and up to 24 DIMM slots for memory expansion.

Suits dense storage workloads

This server suits organisations that need high-capacity 3.5-inch drive density in a 2U form factor for backup, archiving or software-defined storage clusters. The twelve-bay chassis and H330 controller provide RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA drives. Buyers who need 2.5-inch drive density, greater installed memory or dual-processor performance from day one should consider other configurations. The single-socket layout and 8 GB base memory limit immediate virtualisation density.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays backed by a 12 Gbps H330 RAID controller. This bay count and form factor determine how much raw SAS or SATA capacity can be installed without adding external enclosures. With three 600 GB 15K drives fitted, the array delivers high-throughput spinning-disk performance for sequential workloads. Maximum supported raw capacity reaches 52 TB when all bays are populated.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the dual 750W power supplies are both active after racking the R730XD?

Check the iDRAC8 web interface or front-panel LCD for dual PSU status showing both units online and sharing load.

What ships inside the 2U chassis and which items must I source separately?

The box contains one E5-2650 v3 CPU, 8GB DDR4, three 600GB 15K SAS drives in hot-plug trays, H330 RAID controller, two 750W PSUs, DVD-ROM and rails; extra CPUs, memory, drives and OS are not included.

Should I choose the single-CPU 8GB configuration or add a second processor and more DDR4 for virtualization?

Start with the single 10-core 2.3GHz CPU and 8GB if workloads are light; add the second socket and populate up to 24 DIMM slots with DDR4 up to 2400MT/s for heavier VM density.
