Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays into a 2U rack chassis, driven by a single Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. A Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets environments that prioritise raw capacity and drive density over compute throughput, such as backup repositories, archive stores or software-defined storage nodes. Buyers who need a second processor, GPU acceleration or more than 64 GB of memory from day one should evaluate other options. The four 1 GbE ports and six PCIe 3.0 slots provide baseline connectivity for storage networking and HBA expansion.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays define capacity

The twelve-bay 3.5-inch front panel sets the maximum raw storage at 52 TB when populated with compatible SAS or SATA drives. No drives or trays are included, so the buyer must source matching media. Memory is capped at 64 GB across 24 DIMM slots with the current single-CPU layout, and the Matrox G200 video subsystem is intended solely for management console output.

Questions about this item

Will the single E5-2609v3 at 1.9GHz work with my existing DDR4 modules if I add them to the 24 DIMM slots?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots, 12 per processor. With one CPU installed, 12 slots are active; modules must match the supported speeds up to 2400MT/s and capacities listed for this model.

How do I confirm the H730 RAID controller and iDRAC8 are functioning after installation?

During POST the H730 BIOS will list detected drives and RAID firmware version; iDRAC8 initialises separately and its IP address appears on the front LCD or via the management port for web access.

The listing says no hard drives or trays are included — what exactly ships in the box?

The chassis includes the motherboard, one E5-2609v3 CPU, 64GB DDR4, H730 RAID card, two 750W redundant PSUs, DVD-ROM, 4 x 1GbE daughter card, Matrox G200 video, one power cable; rails, bezel, trays, drives, OS, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included.
