Dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U form factor and ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives on an H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Storage-focused workloads

This chassis suits teams that need high spindle density for bulk data, backup targets or software-defined storage nodes where twelve SATA or SAS drives and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 cover the requirement. Buyers who need more internal capacity than twelve bays provide or who require direct-attached flash beyond the SATA interface should look at alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The twelve-bay front panel is the decisive spec: it sets the maximum raw capacity at 52 TB with 3.5-inch drives and determines whether the server can hold the dataset without external enclosures. If the workload fits inside that limit the R730XD delivers; if it exceeds it, a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item

What rack height and drive bay count does the PowerEdge R730XD require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and provides 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives.

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

The H330 fits into the dedicated RAID card slot; the step people miss is cabling the controller to the backplane before seating the card.

When will the 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives or the redundant 750 W power supplies need replacement?

The three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives and the two 750 W redundant power supplies are field-replaceable units; swap a drive when the RAID array reports a failure or a power supply when its status LED shows a fault.
