Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense 3.5-inch storage capacity. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, 32GB of DDR4 memory and three 600GB 15K SAS drives on a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Redundant 750W power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the baseline configuration.

Fits storage-heavy workloads

This server suits buyers who need up to 12 hot-plug SAS or SATA bays and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 in a compact 2U form factor. The 24 DIMM slots support DDR4 modules up to 128GB each, although the installed CPU generation limits the practical memory ceiling. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or 10GbE networking as standard should evaluate other platforms.

12-bay 3.5-inch SAS/SATA chassis

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane that accepts SAS and SATA drives. This bay count determines the maximum raw capacity of 52TB and the RAID topology options available through the H730 controller. Confirm that your workload fits within the dual-socket Xeon E5-2630 v3 platform and the 32GB starting memory before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack space and rails do I need to mount this 2U server?

The chassis occupies 2U of vertical space in a standard rack and weighs 60 lbs; you will need a cabinet that accepts 2U devices and sliding rails rated for that weight.

Can I keep using my existing 3.5" SAS drives alongside the three installed 600GB 15K drives?

Yes, the 12-bay backplane accepts both SAS and SATA 3.5" hot-plug drives, so your current drives can share the enclosure with the factory-installed units.

How do I confirm the H730 controller sees all three 600GB drives in a healthy RAID set after first boot?

Open the H730 BIOS utility or iDRAC8 storage view; the physical disk list should show three 600GB SAS drives with an "Online" state and the virtual disk reporting the chosen RAID level without errors.
