DELL PowerEdge R730XD 2U server

This rack-mount server delivers dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each with ten cores at 2.3 GHz, totalling 40 virtual cores with hyper-threading. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 1.2 TB SAS drives on a PERC H330 controller. Two redundant 750 W power supplies and a DVD ROM complete the configuration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Organisations running virtualisation, database or storage-heavy workloads on SAS or SATA drives will fit up to 24 x 2.5" hot-plug bays and six PCIe 3.0 slots. The system maxes at 16 GB installed memory and two sockets, so buyers who need higher memory capacity out of the box or more than two processors should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification: 24-bay 2.5" SAS/SATA chassis

The defining feature is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis supporting SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 on the H330 controller. If your deployment requires that density and RAID flexibility, this server matches; if you need a different drive form factor or controller, it does not.

Questions about this item

How deep is the R730XD and will it fit in a standard 2U rack space?

The chassis measures 26.8 inches long, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, matching a 2U rack height; verify your cabinet depth before mounting.

Which rails or brackets are required to install the server in a rack?

The unit uses Dell 2U sliding rails that secure to the front and rear posts; the common mistake is not extending the inner rail fully before seating the server.

When will the 1.2 TB SAS drives or the H330 controller need replacement?

Drives are rated at 7.2K RPM with a 6 Gbps SAS interface; plan replacement when SMART alerts appear or capacity exceeds the 52 TB maximum.
