Dense 2U server for storage-heavy workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits two Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors and 32 GB of DDR4 in a 2U rack chassis. Twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays connect to an H330 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the base configuration.

Suits teams building high-capacity arrays.

This platform targets databases, virtualisation hosts and backup targets that need many drive slots in minimal rack space. The Matrox G200 video and single 1 GbE daughter card limit its use for graphics acceleration or high-speed networking without extra cards. Buyers who need 3.5-inch bays or integrated 10 GbE should evaluate other chassis.

24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane decides fit

The chassis accepts up to twenty-four SAS or SATA drives, delivering a raw ceiling of 52 TB when populated with large-capacity disks. Expansion beyond that requires external enclosures, so the bay count is the primary constraint for storage planning.

Questions about this item

With two E5-2630 v3 CPUs at 2.4 GHz, how many total cores and threads does the server present to the OS?

Each E5-2630 v3 has eight cores, so the dual-socket configuration delivers 16 physical cores and 32 threads with hyper-threading enabled.

The H330 controller is listed as 12 Gbps — does that mean every drive bay runs at 12 Gbps SAS?

The controller supports 12 Gbps SAS, but actual link speed depends on the drives installed; SATA drives will negotiate at 6 Gbps and SAS drives at up to 12 Gbps per port.

The chassis is a 2U rack unit — what rail depth and clearance are needed to mount it in a standard cabinet?

The server measures 26.8 inches deep and 3.4 inches high; allow at least 28 inches of rail depth and 2U (3.5 inches) of vertical space for the unit and cable management.
