2U rack server for dense storage

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drives in a 2U chassis. A single Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 handle core workloads, while the H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant supplies keep the system running if one unit fails.

Suits storage-heavy workloads, not compute clusters

The twelve-bay layout serves backup targets, media archives or surveillance repositories that need capacity over raw CPU power. Buyers who want more storage than twelve bays provide should look at larger chassis. The single-socket configuration limits thread count for heavily parallel tasks such as large-scale virtualization or render farms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve-drive bay count paired with the H730 controller. It dictates how many drives you can install, which RAID levels are available and whether the chassis meets your capacity target. Verify that twelve bays satisfy the storage plan before committing.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis run with both 750W redundant supplies under full load?

The 2U rack form factor uses redundant hot-swap 750W power supplies and a 60 Lb chassis; Dell does not publish acoustic or thermal figures for this configuration.

Which drive trays and cables must I supply to populate the 12 x 3.5 hot-plug bays?

The listing states no hard drives or trays are included; you must provide 3.5 SAS or SATA drives plus compatible hot-plug carriers.

Can the Matrox G200 video output drive a modern monitor over DisplayPort?

The integrated Matrox G200eR2 provides 8MB cache and legacy VGA only; a separate GPU is required for DisplayPort or HDMI.
