Dense storage server

The PowerEdge R730XD fits 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack footprint. Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors deliver 16 physical cores and 32 threads at 2.4GHz. 128GB of DDR4 memory fills half the 24 DIMM slots. The H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA drives.

Build integration

Two 750W redundant power supplies share the load without external cabling changes. Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot leave room for networking or acceleration cards. The iDRAC8 remote-management module runs independently of the host OS. Four onboard 1GbE ports handle baseline traffic; optional NDC cards can upgrade to 10GbE.

Sustained operation

Redundant fans and power supplies keep the chassis running through single-component failures. The Matrox G200 video subsystem consumes minimal power while providing console output. Memory operates at speeds the installed CPUs support, up to 2400MT/s. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52TB when all bays are populated with high-density drives.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5" drive bays does the R730XD provide for sustained storage expansion?

The chassis holds up to 24 hot-plug 2.5" SAS or SATA bays, giving you the maximum density before you need another enclosure.

What is the thermal design of the dual 750W redundant supplies under continuous load?

Two 750W hot-swap power supplies share the load and keep each other cool, so the system stays within its thermal envelope during all-day operation.

Which DDR4 DIMMs must already be on hand to reach the 128GB installed capacity?

The server ships with 128GB across its 24 slots; any future upgrade uses DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s per processor capability.
