PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 900 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide the storage foundation. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits storage-heavy deployments.

This configuration fits environments that prioritise drive bays over expansion slots, such as backup targets, surveillance archives or software-defined storage nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and H330 controller handle RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than one CPU socket populated or 10 GbE networking out of the box should evaluate other platforms.

24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays

The chassis accepts up to 24 SAS or SATA drives, enabling a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. The installed PERC H330 connects at 12 Gbps and manages the three included 900 GB drives. Memory tops out at 48 GB across 24 DIMM slots with this processor; larger memory footprints require a second CPU and additional modules.

Questions about this item

How does the 1.9 GHz clock speed of the Xeon E5-2609 v3 affect performance in a 2U rack server?

The 1.9 GHz base frequency on six cores delivers steady throughput for multi-threaded workloads such as virtualisation hosts or database servers, with actual speed depending on the processor capability installed.

What does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller cap in practice for drive connectivity?

The controller supports SAS and SATA drives at up to 12 Gbps per lane and manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the 24 hot-plug bays.

What physical space and mounting does the 2U chassis require?

The unit measures 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, weighs 60 lbs, and mounts in a standard 2U rack space with included rails.
