Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system designed for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with a single Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages three 900 GB 10K SAS drives in up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Storage-Focused Buyers

This configuration suits teams that need maximum drive density in a 2U form factor and hardware RAID across SAS or SATA disks. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion to 1536 GB when a second processor is added. Buyers who require dual processors, more than three drives, or 10 GbE networking out of the box should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis

The defining specification is the 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays backed by the H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. This capacity ceiling of 52 TB raw storage determines whether the server fits the dataset size and redundancy plan.

Questions about this item

How much memory can the E5-2609 v3 processor address before the DDR4 slots are full?

The installed CPU supports up to 1536 GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, though actual speed depends on the processor capability.

What are the thermal and acoustic implications of running both 750 W redundant power supplies continuously?

Dual 750 W hot-swap supplies share the load, reducing per-unit heat and fan speed compared with a single supply carrying full power.

Which network daughter card is fitted so the server can connect to the LAN out of the box?

The system ships with a 4-port 1 GbE daughter card; 10 GbE options are available separately.
