Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for workloads that prioritise internal drive density. It fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and ships with three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives on a PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. A single Xeon E5-2609 v3 at 1.9 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 provide the base compute platform.

Suited to archive and backup targets

This configuration suits teams building on-premise backup repositories, surveillance archives or secondary storage tiers where drive count matters more than raw CPU throughput. The dual 750 W redundant supplies and iDRAC8 remote management simplify lights-out operation. Buyers who need more than eight gigabytes of memory, additional processors or solid-state media from day one should look at alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays define capacity

The chassis accepts up to twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, setting a hard ceiling of 52 TB raw capacity with current drive sizes. That bay count, not the processor or memory, is the specification that determines whether this server fits the storage footprint you are planning.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.9 GHz Xeon E5-2609 v3 actually deliver in this 2U box?

A single six-core processor runs at 1.9 GHz with the C610 chipset, giving baseline compute for virtualisation or file workloads; a second CPU socket is open if more threads are needed later.

How does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller limit drive performance?

The H330 handles SAS at 12 Gbps and SATA at 6 Gbps, so the three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives can saturate their link, while any SATA drives added later will cap at half that throughput.

What physical space and power does the R730XD need to mount?

The chassis is 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide, 3.4 inches high (2U) and ships with two 750 W redundant hot-swap supplies; it slides into a standard four-post rack using Dell rails.
