Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drives into a 2U rack chassis. A single Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory provide the compute base. The Perc H330 controller manages the three installed 2 TB SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the platform running.

Sustained throughput under load

Twelve drive bays fed by a 12 Gbps SAS controller let the array maintain sequential bandwidth across long write sequences without the thermal throttling seen in smaller enclosures. The 7.2 K RPM SAS spindles deliver consistent IOPS for mixed read-write workloads such as backup targets or video archives. Redundant cooling and power remove single points of failure during extended duty cycles.

SAS and PCIe 3.0 interface limits

The H330 tops out at 12 Gbps per lane, so aggregate throughput cannot exceed the controller’s eight-lane PCIe 3.0 link. Maximum raw capacity is 52 TB when all twelve bays are populated with the largest supported drives. Network connectivity defaults to four 1 GbE ports; optional 10 GbE daughter cards require an open PCIe 3.0 slot.

Questions about this item

How much power does the dual 750W redundant supply draw under full load?

Each power supply is rated at 750W; the redundant pair shares load to maintain uptime if one unit fails.

What rack and cabling must I already have for the 12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis?

The server fits a 2U rack space measuring 26.8 by 17.44 by 3.4 inches and uses SAS or SATA drives with included trays.

Can the H330 controller manage my existing 6Gbps SAS drives alongside the new 7.2K 2TB drives?

Yes, the H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 and is backward compatible with 6Gbps SAS drives.
