Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a rack-mount server system built for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors at 1.9GHz and 64GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis supports up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and includes a Dell Perc H330 RAID controller with 12Gbps bandwidth. Redundant 750W hot-swap power supplies and a DVD ROM drive complete the configuration.

Suited for storage-heavy roles

This server suits teams that need high drive-count capacity in a compact rack footprint, with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 available on the H330 controller. The six-core CPUs and 64GB memory ceiling fit moderate virtualization or file-serving tasks where core density is secondary to disk bays. Buyers who need more than 64GB of RAM, higher single-thread frequency, additional PCIe 3.0 lanes beyond six slots or 10GbE networking as standard should evaluate other platforms, as the installed processors and memory topology fix those limits.

12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis with H330 RAID

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H330 12Gbps RAID controller, which together set the maximum raw capacity at 52TB and determine which drive types can be installed. Only SAS or SATA 3.5-inch drives are supported in these bays, and the controller caps RAID options to the levels listed. Memory speed is bound to the processor capability at up to 2400MT/s DDR4, and the two CPUs provide 24 DIMM slots total with a 64GB installed limit.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and power circuits do I need to install this 2U server?

The chassis is 26.8 inches deep and includes dual 750W redundant power supplies that require two separate AC circuits for full redundancy.

Can I keep my existing 6Gbps SAS drives and add them to the 12 hot-plug bays alongside the three installed 2TB drives?

Yes, the backplane accepts both SAS and SATA drives up to 6Gbps, so older 6Gbps SAS drives will work in the remaining nine 3.5-inch bays.

How do I verify the H330 controller and iDRAC8 are operating correctly after first power-on?

During POST the H330 BIOS lists the three 2TB drives and available RAID levels, while iDRAC8 presents its own network configuration screen reachable at the default IP address shown on the front LCD.
