Dense 3.5-inch storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around twelve hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays and a Perc H730 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots provide the compute base. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module complete the chassis.

Teams needing maximum 3.5-inch capacity in 2U

This platform suits workloads that prioritise raw 3.5-inch hard-drive density over processor core count or 2.5-inch bay count. Buyers who need more than twelve 3.5-inch bays, a dual-socket CPU configuration out of the box, installed drives or an operating system should look at a different system.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drive bays paired with the Perc H730 1 GB 12 Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. This combination determines whether the server matches a storage-centric deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I add a second Xeon E5-2609 v3 to reach the 24 DIMM slots?

Adding a second Xeon E5-2609 v3 unlocks the second bank of 12 DIMM slots, allowing the full 24-slot population up to 1536 GB total capacity.

What does the 1.9 GHz base clock mean for typical virtualization workloads?

The six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 at 1.9 GHz provides steady throughput for moderate VM density; clock speed is fixed with no Turbo Boost on this model.

How does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller limit drive performance?

The H730 caps each SAS or SATA bay at 12 Gbps, so 12 Gbps SAS drives run at full link speed while 6 Gbps SATA drives are limited to their native rate.
