Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives behind a PERC H330 RAID controller. It offers twelve hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays, dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive in a chassis that supports up to two processors.

Suited for storage-dense workloads on a budget

The twelve-bay layout and RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 support make this platform a fit for file serving, backup repositories or archival tasks that value capacity over raw compute density. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of RAM, faster processors, additional CPU sockets populated or SSD-optimised performance should look at other configurations because the installed memory ceiling and single six-core CPU limit headroom for virtualisation-heavy or database-intensive roles.

Memory ceiling fixed at 16 GB

The system arrives with 16 GB of DDR4 installed and the specification lists a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB, so no further DIMM upgrades are possible without replacing the motherboard or processor combination. This hard limit determines whether the server can accommodate your intended workload or if a platform with a higher supported memory total is required.

Questions about this item

What SATA speed does the H330 controller support and what does that cap drive throughput at?

The H330 12Gbps RAID controller connects the 6Gbps SATA drives, so each 3.5-inch drive is limited to the 6Gbps SATA link speed in practice.

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the 2U chassis provide and what depth clearance is needed?

The 2U rack chassis is 26.8 inches deep and 17.44 inches wide, with up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives.

How is the single E5-2609 v3 processor installed and what slot mistake do builders make?

The CPU seats in the first processor socket; the common error is populating DIMM slots on the second processor side before the second CPU is installed, leaving that memory inactive.
