Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system built around two Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz with 32 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. It ships with three 300 GB 15 000 rpm SAS drives and a Perc H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, all powered by redundant 750 W supplies.

Suits storage-heavy workloads.

This server fits organisations that need up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA bays and hardware RAID in a compact rack footprint. It lacks dedicated GPU support and offers only 1 GbE networking by default, so render farms or high-throughput 10 GbE clusters should look elsewhere.

12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis

The defining spec is the 12-drive 3.5-inch hot-plug bay count paired with the H730 controller, which together determine whether the platform can absorb your near-line storage target of up to 52 TB raw capacity.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual Xeon E5-2630v3 system run with both 750W redundant supplies active all day?

The 2U chassis uses redundant 750W hot-swap power supplies and 12 x 3.5" drive bays; fan speed scales with CPU and drive load, so sustained full-load operation will increase airflow and heat output accordingly.

Which rails, cables and operating system do I need to supply before the R730XD with Perc H730 controller can boot?

You must provide rack rails, a DVD or USB installation media for the OS, and any additional SAS cables if you populate more than the three included 300GB 15K drives in the 12-bay backplane.

Will my existing 6Gbps SAS or SATA drives work in the 12-bay hot-plug backplane alongside the installed 300GB 15K drives?

Yes, the backplane accepts both 6Gbps SAS and SATA 3.5" drives, so older drives can be mixed with the three factory 300GB 15K SAS drives under the H730 controller.
