Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U rack chassis, driven by dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twenty-four DIMM slots. A PERC H330 controller manages the three installed 300 GB 15 K SAS drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60, while dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote-management module keep the platform running.

Suited for capacity-focused workloads

This configuration serves teams that need high spindle counts and hardware RAID in a shallow rack footprint, such as backup targets, video surveillance archives or dense virtualisation storage tiers. Buyers who require 10 GbE networking from day one, GPU-accelerated compute, or all-flash performance tiers should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis

The defining spec is the twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch bays that accept SAS or SATA drives, enabling up to 52 TB of raw capacity behind a single H330 RAID controller. This density decides whether the R730XD matches a rack-density plan or whether a smaller bay count or 2.5-inch form factor would be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The server includes two Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, 16GB DDR4 memory, three 300GB 15K SAS drives with trays, an H330 RAID controller, two 750W redundant power supplies, a DVD drive, a 4-port 1GbE daughter card, and iDRAC8 Express. Operating system, additional drives, memory modules, and upgraded network cards are not included.

How do I choose between the listed drive and memory capacities?

The chassis supports up to 12 x 3.5" hot-plug SAS or SATA drives; the H330 handles RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. Memory scales to 1536GB across 24 DIMM slots using DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed processors.

What does the 2.4GHz figure mean once the server is running a real workload?

Each of the two E5-2630 v3 CPUs runs at 2.4GHz base frequency with eight cores and hyper-threading, providing 32 logical threads for parallel tasks; sustained performance will vary with cooling, power limits, and the specific application mix.
