Dense 2.5-inch storage platform

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around twenty-four hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It ships with dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and two 750 W redundant power supplies.

Memory-limited starter configuration

This unit suits teams that need maximum drive density in a 2U chassis and can populate the twenty-four DIMM slots themselves; the installed 16 GB and the listed 16 GB maximum in the specifications mean the system cannot run memory-intensive workloads without additional modules. Buyers who need large memory footprints out of the box should look at something else.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays

The defining specification is the twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays backed by the H730 controller; if the deployment requires fewer bays or a different form factor, this chassis is the wrong choice.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 DIMM slots are free for future memory upgrades?

The system has 24 DDR4 DIMM slots in total, with 12 allocated per processor. The installed 16GB will occupy some slots, leaving the remainder available for expansion up to the supported maximum.

Which component reaches its ceiling first when all 24 drive bays are populated under heavy I/O?

The PERC H730 controller manages up to 52TB of total storage across the 24 hot-plug bays. That capacity limit will be reached before the 12Gbps SAS/SATA interface saturates under sustained workloads.

What is the power draw of the redundant 750W supplies when the server runs continuously at full load?

Two 750W hot-swap power supplies operate in redundant mode. Each unit draws only what the configured components require, so actual consumption varies with the number of drives, memory modules and PCIe cards installed.
