Dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for storage density with up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. It ships with dual eight-core Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory, and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote-management module complete the baseline configuration.

Fits storage-heavy workloads.

This platform suits organisations that need large local capacity in a compact rack footprint — virtualisation hosts, backup targets, or software-defined storage nodes that can scale to 52 TB of raw SATA/SAS space. Buyers who need more than two sockets, require GPU acceleration, or want a single-processor configuration should look elsewhere. The 24 DIMM slots support up to 1536 GB of DDR4, but the installed 16 GB is only a starting point for memory-intensive applications.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis drives the decision

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis that delivers high drive-count density in 2U. If the workload demands that many spindles or SSDs behind a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, this server matches the requirement; if fewer bays suffice, a smaller chassis will save rack space and power.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, 16 GB DDR4, three 1 TB SATA drives on an H730 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, a DVD drive and rails. Operating system, additional drives or memory must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the base 16 GB or add more DDR4?

The system has 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 1536 GB of DDR4 at 2400 MT/s; 16 GB suits light workloads, while virtualisation or databases benefit from filling more slots with 16 GB or 32 GB modules.

What does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller deliver in practice?

The H730 provides 1 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays, giving hardware-accelerated redundancy and throughput for the installed SATA drives.
