Dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for storage density. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz, 96 GB of DDR4 memory, and three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives on an H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and 24 hot-plug 2.5 inch bays complete the platform.

Buyers needing maximum drive count

This configuration suits workloads that prioritise internal capacity in a 2U form factor. The 24-bay chassis accepts SAS or SATA drives and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Organisations that require a second processor, larger memory population, or 10 GbE networking out of the box should look at other configurations.

24 hot-plug 2.5 inch drive bays

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5 inch hot-plug backplane. It sets the raw storage ceiling at 52 TB and determines which drive form factors can be added. If the deployment needs fewer bays or 3.5 inch drives, a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation does the H730 RAID controller use and what throughput does that cap?

The H730 controller connects via PCIe 3.0 and runs at 12 Gbps SAS speed, so the bus caps each drive at that 12 Gbps link rate.

What physical space and rails does the 2U chassis need to mount in a rack?

The server is a 2U unit measuring 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, and it requires Dell sliding rails made for the R730XD.

How is the H730 RAID controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730 plugs into the dedicated RAID card slot inside the chassis; the step people miss is seating the card fully before locking the retention latch.
