2U rack server with 24 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It fits 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and includes dual Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors with six cores each running at 1.9 GHz. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module complete the package.

Suits high-capacity cold storage.

This server suits teams that need many drive bays in a shallow rack footprint for archival, backup or software-defined storage clusters. The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed drives. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of memory for virtualisation or in-memory databases should look elsewhere, because the CPU configuration limits the installed maximum to 16 GB even though the chassis provides 24 DIMM slots.

Memory ceiling fixed at 16 GB by the processors

The single specification that decides fit is the 16 GB installed memory limit imposed by the dual E5-2609 v3 CPUs. Although the board offers 24 slots and the platform spec lists 1536 GB maximum, these processors cap usable capacity at 16 GB. If the application requires more memory, a different processor choice is required; the drive bay count and RAID features remain unchanged regardless.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H330 controller sees all three 300 GB SAS drives after installation?

Open the controller BIOS during boot or log into iDRAC8 to confirm the RAID array reports three physical disks at 300 GB each with the expected RAID level.

Which components ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?

The unit includes two E5-2609 v3 processors, 16 GB DDR4, three 300 GB 15K SAS drives in hot-plug trays, H330 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, DVD drive, four-port 1 GbE daughter card and iDRAC8 Express; rails, OS and additional drives or memory are not included.

Should I choose the 16 GB base configuration or expand toward the 1536 GB maximum using the 24 DIMM slots?

Start with the installed 16 GB if workloads are light; add matched DDR4 modules in sets of 12 per processor up to 1536 GB when virtualization or database demand grows.
