Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U 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 96 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 300 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide the baseline storage array. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits storage-heavy workloads.

This configuration suits environments that prioritise drive bays over compute density, such as backup targets or media archives. The twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 support simplify capacity expansion. Buyers needing higher thread counts or dual-socket performance from day one should evaluate other options. The single CPU limits parallel processing headroom.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays define capacity

The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, reaching a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. The installed PERC H330 controller manages RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across these bays. This bay count is the primary factor when sizing the system for storage-heavy deployments.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays or must they be purchased separately?

Trays are included with the three installed 300 GB SAS drives; the remaining nine 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept additional trays that are sold with extra drives.

Should I choose the single E5-2609 v3 or add a second processor?

The board supports two CPUs; adding a second E5-2609 v3 doubles core count and unlocks the second set of 12 DIMM slots for memory beyond 96 GB.

What does the 12 Gbps H330 controller mean for the 300 GB 15K SAS drives?

The controller provides a 12 Gbps link to the backplane, while each drive runs at 6 Gbps, so the array is limited by the drive speed but gains RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 support.
