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 at 1.9 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis provides 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays and includes three 900 GB 10K SAS drives. A PERC H330 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the base configuration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits IT teams that need high drive-count capacity in a 2U form factor for databases, virtualization hosts or backup targets. The 24-bay chassis and SAS connectivity match workloads that prioritize storage density over raw compute. Buyers who need more than one processor, faster CPU clocks or larger memory footprints should look elsewhere. The single six-core CPU and 8 GB base RAM limit performance for heavy compute or large in-memory datasets.

Storage density and drive-bay count

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis combined with SAS 6 Gbps drives and an H330 12 Gbps RAID controller. This combination determines how much raw capacity and IOPS the system can deliver in a 2U space. The installed 3 x 900 GB 10K drives provide a starting point, but the bay count and controller set the upper bound for expansion. Verify that your storage growth plan fits within the 52 TB maximum capacity and the supported RAID levels.
