Dense storage server

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. Two Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors at 1.9GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory provide the compute base, while a Perc H730 controller manages SAS storage.

Archive and capacity workloads

The chassis supports up to 52TB of raw capacity across the twelve bays, making the platform suited to backup repositories, media archives or surveillance recording. Buyers who need more than 16GB of memory or who require solid-state boot drives should plan alternative configurations.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays that enable high-density SAS or SATA storage in a 2U form factor. This bay count determines whether the server fits the intended storage footprint.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 12 drive bays populated or do I need to buy additional SAS drives and trays separately?

The unit includes 3 x 2 TB 7.2K 3.5-inch SAS drives with trays. The remaining 9 hot-plug bays are empty, so extra SAS or SATA drives and trays must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the installed 16 GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules up to the 24 DIMM slots?

The system has 16 GB DDR4 installed across 24 slots (12 per processor). You can add 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s, limited by the E5-2609 v3 memory controller.

What usable capacity does the H730 RAID controller provide with the three 2 TB SAS drives in RAID 5?

In RAID 5 the three 2 TB drives yield roughly 4 TB of usable space. The H730 1 GB 12 Gbps controller also supports RAID 0, 1, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for other layouts.
