Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. A single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory handle compute duties. The PERC H730 RAID controller manages the three installed 2 TB SAS drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Sustained storage throughput

The H730 controller’s 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps SAS links keep sequential read and write rates stable during long backup or archival jobs. With a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB across twelve bays, the array avoids the performance drop-off seen when smaller enclosures fill up. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies maintain operation if one unit fails.

Cooling and power profile

Front-to-rear airflow across the 2U chassis keeps drive and CPU temperatures steady under continuous load. Fan speed ramps with inlet temperature rather than spiking on short bursts, so acoustic output remains predictable in a rack row. The redundant 750 W supplies share load evenly, drawing only what the configured drives and processor require.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730XD get with both 750W redundant supplies running 24/7?

The dual 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies share the load, so each unit runs at lower utilisation, reducing fan speed and heat output compared with a single supply under full load.

Which DDR4 modules must I already have to reach the 64GB installed capacity across the 24 DIMM slots?

The server ships with 64GB of DDR4 already populated; the 24 slots (12 per processor) support 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB modules up to 2400MT/s, actual speed set by the Xeon E5-2609 v3 capability.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the three 2TB 7.2K SAS drives together with older 6Gbps SAS disks I want to keep?

Yes, the H730 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and will negotiate down to 6Gbps for legacy SAS drives, letting you mix the installed 2TB drives with older SAS media in the same array.
