Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U Rack Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and includes three 4TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a Perc H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W redundant power supplies provide resilience for continuous operation.

Suited for archive and capacity-focused deployments

This configuration suits IT teams needing high raw capacity in a compact 2U form factor for backup targets, media repositories or cold data tiers. The twelve-bay chassis and hardware RAID support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible redundancy. It is not for buyers who need more than sixteen drive bays, who require GPU compute density, or who depend on ten-gigabit networking without adding a daughter card.

Single Xeon E5-2609v3 limits memory ceiling

The installed processor caps maximum memory at 16GB across the twenty-four DIMM slots, so the system cannot utilise the full 1536GB platform limit without a CPU upgrade. This single-socket constraint also reduces available PCIe lanes and memory bandwidth compared to dual-processor configurations. Buyers planning memory-intensive virtualisation or database workloads should verify the single-socket limit before deployment.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays for the three 4 TB SAS drives, or do I need to order them separately?

The three 4 TB SAS drives come with their trays installed; the remaining nine 3.5" hot-plug bays will need trays if you add more drives.

The spec lists max memory as 16 GB but also mentions 24 DIMM slots — which limit applies?

The installed CPU supports up to 16 GB total across the 24 DDR4 slots; adding a second processor would raise the ceiling to 1536 GB.

What throughput can I expect from the H730 controller with the three 7.2 K SAS drives in RAID 5?

The H730 12 Gbps controller can deliver sequential reads near the combined spindle speed of the three drives, typically several hundred MB/s in RAID 5.
