PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays for SAS or SATA drives. It targets IT teams needing high capacity in a compact rack footprint.

Storage capacity and headroom

Three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives are installed, providing a starting point for the H730 RAID controller. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all bays. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52 TB when the twelve bays are fully populated. The system has no SSD installed and the memory ceiling is fixed at 16 GB with the current configuration.

Dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors

Two six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 CPUs at 1.9 GHz deliver the compute base. The Intel C610 chipset provides twenty-four DDR4 DIMM slots, twelve per processor, though the installed memory sits at 16 GB. PCIe 3.0 expansion is available through up to six slots plus a dedicated RAID card slot. Buyers who need higher core counts, faster clock speeds or larger memory footprints must look beyond this specific processor configuration.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 DDR4 DIMM slots accept the ECC modules I already use in my older Xeon servers?

Yes, the 24 slots take DDR4 ECC RDIMMs at 2400 MT/s; populate them in matched sets per processor for best performance.

How can I confirm the H730 controller sees all three 1 TB SATA drives after installation?

Open the H730 BIOS during boot; it will list each 1 TB drive and let you create RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 arrays.

Does the box include the 12 drive trays for the 3.5-inch hot-plug bays, or must I order them separately?

The three installed 1 TB drives ship with trays; the remaining nine empty bays need trays purchased separately.
