Purpose-built density

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server fitted with two six-core Xeon E5-2609v3 processors at 1.9 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets IT teams that need a high-drive-count platform for local storage workloads such as backup repositories, software-defined storage nodes or archival databases. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays, making it a fit for density-focused deployments rather than compute-heavy virtualisation clusters.

Storage ceiling

Three 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives ship installed behind the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The array delivers modest capacity for starter workloads; the controller and backplane scale to a 52 TB raw maximum when all bays are populated with large-capacity SAS or SATA drives. Memory is fixed at 32 GB because the installed CPUs limit the system maximum to 32 GB, so memory-intensive applications will hit a hard ceiling without a processor upgrade.

Thermal and power profile

Dual 750 W redundant power supplies share the load, providing N+1 redundancy for the drives, CPUs and up to six PCIe 3.0 cards. The 2U form factor uses front-to-rear airflow tuned for dense drive populations; fan speeds rise under sustained disk I/O or full CPU utilisation. Acoustic output is typical for rackmount gear and assumes a data-centre environment rather than an office setting.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch SAS drives in this R730XD share a backplane with the SATA SSDs I already own?

Yes, the chassis accepts up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives on the same backplane, so existing SATA SSDs can be installed alongside the supplied 1.2 TB SAS drives.

How can I verify the H330 controller and both Xeon E5-2609 v3 CPUs are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface or enter the BIOS; the System Inventory page lists both six-core 1.9 GHz processors, 32 GB of DDR4 across the 24 DIMM slots, and the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller with its configured virtual disks.

Which items ship inside the box and what must I source separately?

The server arrives with two 750 W redundant power supplies, three 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives in trays, a DVD-ROM drive, the H330 RAID card, and an iDRAC8 Express licence; operating system, rail kit, additional drives or memory, and any 10 GbE daughter card are not included.
