Dense 3.5-inch storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives in a 2U rack form factor. Dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors deliver 20 cores at 2.3 GHz with 40 threads when hyper-threading is active. Sixteen GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 complete the base configuration. Dual 750 W redundant supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included.

Suits archive and backup workloads

This platform suits teams that need high-capacity 3.5-inch drive density and hardware RAID in a compact rack slot. Buyers who require 2.5-inch bay density, greater than 52 TB raw capacity, or more than 16 GB of memory as shipped should evaluate alternative platforms. The four 1 GbE ports may limit throughput for all-flash arrays or heavy virtualisation clusters. No operating system or drive trays are supplied.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays backed by the H330 controller. This bay count fixes the maximum raw capacity at 52 TB and determines whether the chassis matches the planned storage topology. Confirm that 3.5-inch SAS or SATA media and the supported RAID levels meet the project requirements before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1536GB maximum?

The server ships with 16GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots. You can populate up to 1536GB using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB DDR4 modules running up to 2400MT/s, limited by the Xeon E5-2650 v3 capability.

What does the dual 10-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 at 2.3GHz deliver in a live workload?

Two E5-2650 v3 processors provide 20 physical cores and 40 threads at 2.3GHz, suited for virtualisation, databases and multi-threaded applications that scale across cores.

How does the H330 12Gbps RAID controller limit the 12 x 3.5" drive bays?

The H330 supports SAS and SATA drives at 12Gbps with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across all 12 hot-plug bays, capping total raw capacity at 52TB.
