Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 96GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and a Dell PERC H330 12Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included. The chassis provides 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS or SATA devices and a DVD-ROM drive.

Teams needing high drive-count density

This server suits organisations that want maximum 2.5-inch bay count in a 2U footprint with hardware RAID and redundant power. Buyers who need more than one processor installed, more than 96GB of memory, or 10GbE networking as standard should look at alternative platforms. The single CPU configuration also limits PCIe lane availability for add-in cards beyond the six PCIe 3.0 slots and dedicated RAID slot.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane, which allows up to 52TB of raw SAS or SATA capacity behind a single H330 controller. No drives or trays are included, so the buyer must supply compatible media. This bay count drives the chassis depth of 26.8 inches and determines whether the system fits the intended rack and storage layout.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and width does the 2U R730XD chassis require?

The chassis measures 26.8 inches long and 17.44 inches wide, so the rack must provide at least that depth and width for the 2U space.

How is the PERC H330 RAID controller installed and which step is often missed?

The H330 plugs into the dedicated internal RAID card slot; the step people miss is connecting the SAS cables from the controller to the 24-drive backplane before closing the lid.

Which memory modules can be used later to reach the 1536 GB maximum?

DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs at 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB per module, up to 2400 MT/s, populate the 24 slots to reach the maximum capacity.
