Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9GHz and 64GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis supports up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives managed by a Dell Perc H330 RAID controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 support. Redundant 750W power supplies and a DVD ROM drive are included.

Suits storage-heavy 2U deployments

This server fits teams that need maximum 3.5-inch drive density in a 2U footprint with hardware RAID. The 12-bay chassis and H330 controller cover large-capacity SAS or SATA arrays for backup, archive or media workloads. Buyers who need a smaller 1U form factor or more than two processors should look elsewhere. The installed 64GB DDR4 hits the processor-limited maximum, so workloads requiring more memory per socket need a different CPU choice.

12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug capacity

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H330 controller. It dictates how many large-form-factor drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. Confirm your storage capacity and redundancy needs match this bay count and controller feature set before purchase.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays are available for future storage expansion?

The chassis provides 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays that accept SAS or SATA drives.

Which component will reach its ceiling first when the server runs at full load continuously?

The installed memory is already at the 64 GB maximum supported by the two E5-2609v3 processors.

What is the power supply rating and redundancy for 24/7 operation?

Two 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one fails.
