Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for workloads that need many drives in a compact chassis. It suits database clusters, backup targets and virtualisation hosts that prioritise local capacity over raw compute density.

Hot-plug bays and rail mounting

Twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays let you add or replace SAS and SATA drives without shutting down. The unit ships without drive trays, so you must source compatible caddies before installation. Rail kit and bezel are also absent.

Maximum raw capacity of 52TB

The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all bays, capping usable space at 52TB. Buyers who need more storage must add external enclosures or choose a platform with larger bay counts.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 RAID controller is functioning after installation?

The H730 controller will appear in the BIOS POST and iDRAC8 interface showing 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps SAS/SATA support; configure a virtual disk and confirm the array status reports optimal.

What ships with the server and what must I purchase separately?

The unit includes the 2U chassis, dual E5-2609v3 CPUs, 16 GB DDR4, H730 controller, DVD drive, two 750 W redundant power supplies, one power cable and iDRAC8 Express; drive trays, rails, bezel, keyboard, mouse, video cable and OS are not included.

Which memory capacity should I select for the 24 DIMM slots?

Each of the 24 slots accepts 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s; populate in sets of 12 per processor to reach the 1536 GB maximum supported by this configuration.
