Server system for storage density

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for high storage capacity with twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache manages the three included 600GB 15K SAS drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Redundant 750W power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the configuration.

Suited for cold storage and archive workloads

This server suits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch SAS or SATA storage in a standard rack footprint with hardware RAID. Buyers who require more than two processors or memory beyond 16GB as shipped should plan upgrades using the available DIMM slots. Those needing 2.5-inch drive bays, more than twelve 3.5-inch slots, or a different rack height will need a different chassis. The single CPU configuration also limits compute throughput for heavily threaded applications.

12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays that accept SAS or SATA drives up to a combined 52TB raw capacity. This bay count and form factor determine whether the server fits your storage density and drive-type requirements. The H730 controller provides 12Gbps SAS connectivity and broad RAID support for those drives. Verify that your workload matches this bay configuration before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R730XD chassis provide for the 600GB SAS drives?

The chassis holds up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays, so the three installed 600GB SAS drives leave nine bays free for expansion.

Which slot does the H730 RAID controller occupy during installation?

The H730 controller uses the dedicated RAID card slot, leaving all six PCIe 3.0 slots available for other cards.

What is the maximum DDR4 memory capacity the server can reach?

The system supports up to 1536GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, 12 per processor.
