Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 4 TB SAS hard drives. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and includes a PERC H330 RAID controller with redundant 750 W power supplies.

Suited for dense local storage.

This configuration suits buyers who need a deep drive bay count and hardware RAID in a compact 2U form factor. The installed memory is fixed at 16 GB and the board offers twenty-four DIMM slots for later expansion. Buyers who need large memory capacity out of the box or who require PCIe slots for GPU acceleration should look at a different platform.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with PERC H330 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines whether the server can hold the required number of SAS or SATA drives and deliver the desired redundancy level.

Questions about this item

What are the physical dimensions of this 2U rack server?

The chassis measures 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, weighing 60 lbs. It requires a standard 2U rack space with sufficient depth clearance.

How are the 3.5 inch SAS drives installed in the hot-plug bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into one of the 12 front bays until the carrier locks; the step often missed is ensuring the release lever clicks fully closed so the drive connects to the SAS backplane.

When will the 750W redundant power supplies need replacement?

Power supplies typically run for several years; replace a unit when the iDRAC8 management console reports a fault or the front-panel amber LED indicates a supply failure.
