Dense 12-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system built around twelve hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays and a Perc H730 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual Xeon E5-2609v3 processors provide twelve cores at 1.9 GHz, while 32 GB of DDR4 memory occupies a fraction of the 24 available DIMM slots. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete a platform designed for capacity-focused workloads.

Suited for archive and backup targets.

Organisations that need a single chassis to hold up to 52 TB of spinning media will find the bay count and controller a direct match. The six-core CPUs and base memory configuration limit performance for virtualisation clusters, database engines or GPU-accelerated tasks, so buyers chasing high thread counts or large memory footprints should look elsewhere.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays define the fit

The maximum raw capacity of 52 TB is only reachable when all twelve bays are populated with large-capacity SAS or SATA drives. If the deployment requires fewer bays, 2.5-inch density, or a different controller feature set, the R730XD does not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the H730 RAID controller and 12 × 3.5″ hot-plug bays accept the SAS and SATA drives I already own?

The Perc H730 supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and connects to the 12 hot-plug 3.5″ bays that accept both SAS and SATA drives, so your existing drives will work if they match those interfaces.

How can I confirm the dual E5-2609v3 CPUs and 32 GB DDR4 are recognised and running at the correct 1.9 GHz after installation?

On first boot, open the iDRAC8 Lifecycle Controller or enter the system BIOS; both will display each Xeon E5-2609v3 at 1.9 GHz and show the full 32 GB of DDR4 memory detected across the 24 DIMM slots.

The listing says no hard drives or trays are included — what exactly ships in the box and what must I source separately?

The server arrives with the 2U chassis, dual 750 W redundant power supplies, DVD-ROM, Matrox G200 video, a power cable and the 4-port 1 GbE daughter card; you must buy drives, drive trays, rails, bezel, keyboard, mouse and video cable yourself.
