2U Rack Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rackmount server designed for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Three 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the baseline configuration.

Suits Cold-Data Archives and Backup Targets

This chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, making it a fit for backup repositories, surveillance archives or secondary storage tiers where capacity per rack unit matters. The single-socket CPU and modest 16 GB RAM limit virtualisation density, so hyper-converged or compute-heavy clusters should look elsewhere. Buyers needing 10 GbE connectivity or a second processor must add optional daughter cards and a matching CPU kit.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Defines Capacity Ceiling

The 24-drive front bay count sets the hard storage ceiling at 52 TB with current 2.5-inch SAS media. Expanding beyond that requires a different platform, so confirm total capacity needs before committing. The PERC H730 controller handles the supported RAID levels across all populated bays.

Highlights

  • 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays for dense storage capacity
  • Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the system running
  • H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
  • Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core 1.9 GHz processor handles core workloads
  • 16 GB DDR4 memory with 24 DIMM slots for future expansion

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuit do I need for this 2U server?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and ships with dual 750W hot-swap power supplies; plan for two PDU connections on separate circuits for full redundancy.

Will my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives work with the H730 controller installed?

Yes — the Perc H730 supports 12 Gbps SAS and negotiates down to 6 Gbps, so older SAS or SATA drives can be added to the remaining 2.5" hot-plug bays.

How can I verify the RAID array is healthy after the first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface or the H730 BIOS utility (Ctrl+R) and confirm the virtual disk shows Optimal with all three 1.2 TB drives Online.
