Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD packs twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U rack footprint, driven by a single Xeon E5-2630 v3 at 2.4 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots. Three 300 GB 15K SAS drives ship installed behind a Perc H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Redundant 750 W supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the baseline configuration.

SAS topology and PCIe 3.0 ceiling

The backplane accepts SAS or SATA drives at 6 Gbps per port; the H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all twelve bays, but the controller and backplane do not exceed 12 Gbps aggregate. Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus the dedicated RAID slot provide expansion, yet total lane budget is capped by the C610 chipset and the single-processor installation. Network I/O defaults to four 1 GbE ports on the daughter card; 10 GbE options exist but are not populated.

Slide rails and cable routing

The chassis slides into standard square-hole racks on included rails; allow 26.8 inches of depth behind the front posts. Hot-plug drive carriers latch tool-free, and the H730 cable harness is pre-routed, but the single CPU means twelve memory slots remain empty — populating them later requires matched DDR4 modules and a second processor kit. iDRAC8 Express is active on the dedicated management port; Enterprise features and vFlash media need licence keys applied before remote KVM or virtual media will function.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2630 v3 or add a second processor for my workload?

The server supports up to two processors. One E5-2630 v3 at 2.4 GHz with eight cores is installed; a second matching CPU can be added later to double the core count.

What does the 64 GB DDR4 figure mean for actual memory speed in this system?

The installed 64 GB DDR4 runs at up to 2400 MT/s, but the exact speed depends on the E5-2630 v3 processor capability and the DIMM population across the 24 slots.

How does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller limit the 300 GB 15K SAS drives in practice?

The H730 controller provides a 12 Gbps SAS link, while the three 300 GB 15K drives operate at 6 Gbps, so the drives set the effective throughput ceiling.
