2U rack server for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drives in a 2U chassis. It ships with a single Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. The H730 RAID controller manages the three included 1 TB SATA drives and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Redundant 750 W power supplies are standard.

Twelve-bay limit and single CPU memory ceiling

The chassis accepts up to twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives for a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. Memory speed reaches 2400 MT/s only when the installed processor supports that rate. With one CPU populated, only twelve of the twenty-four DIMM slots are active, capping installed memory at 8 GB per the supplied configuration. A second processor would unlock the remaining slots.

Single Xeon E5-2609v3 with six cores at 1.9 GHz

This unit includes one E5-2609v3 processor; a second socket is empty but available for an identical CPU. Buyers who need more than six cores or higher clock speeds must source a compatible second processor separately. The board uses the Intel C610 chipset and provides up to six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID card slot. Networking defaults to four 1 GbE ports with optional 10 GbE daughter cards.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2609v3 1.9GHz 6-core model or add a second processor?

The system supports up to two processors. A second CPU doubles core count and unlocks the remaining 12 DIMM slots for memory expansion beyond the installed 8GB.

What does the 1.9GHz clock on the E5-2609v3 mean for real workloads?

The six cores run at a steady 1.9GHz base frequency, giving predictable throughput for multi-threaded server tasks such as virtualisation or database serving.

How does the 12Gbps H730 controller cap drive performance with the installed SATA drives?

The H730 supports 12Gbps SAS, but the three 1TB 7.2K SATA drives are limited to 6Gbps, so the controller runs at the drive interface speed.
