Rack server with 24 DIMM slots

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R730XD server is built for storage-dense workloads in a rack environment. It arrives new with a single Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 96 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 slots. The system includes a PERC H330 RAID controller, three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives in hot-plug bays, dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive. No operating system is included.

Suits storage-heavy roles.

The chassis supports up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots, making it a fit for virtualisation hosts, backup targets or database servers that prioritise internal drive count. The single-socket configuration and lack of installed SSDs mean it is not aimed at buyers who need the highest per-socket core counts, all-flash performance or GPU-accelerated compute. Organisations requiring more than 12 front-access 3.5-inch bays or PCIe 4.0 connectivity should look at newer platforms.

12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays with H330 RAID

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. This combination delivers up to 52 TB of raw SATA or SAS capacity in a 2U form factor. The installed 96 GB DDR4 matches the processor's supported maximum, so any memory expansion requires a second CPU. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Express with optional Enterprise upgrades.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R730XD provide for sustained storage expansion?

The chassis supports up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives, with three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives already installed.

What is the power supply rating and redundancy for continuous all-day operation?

Two 750 W hot-swap power supplies run in redundant mode, so the server stays online if one unit fails.

Which memory type and maximum capacity must the buyer plan for when adding RAM?

The system uses DDR4 modules across 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1536 GB total when both processor sockets are populated.
