Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory, three 900 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays complete the platform for dense storage workloads.

Suits storage-focused deployments.

This configuration fits organisations that need maximum drive density in a 2U form factor with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 support. The single CPU and 8 GB base memory limit virtualisation density, so environments requiring heavy compute threads, large memory footprints per VM, or GPU acceleration should consider a different starting point.

24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays with H730 RAID controller

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID levels up to 60. This combination determines whether the chassis can absorb the required number of SAS or SATA drives and deliver the redundancy scheme your dataset demands.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis with dual 750W supplies get under 24/7 load?

The server uses two redundant 750W hot-swap power supplies and a 2U rack form factor; fan speed scales with CPU and drive temperatures, so sustained workloads will increase airflow and heat output.

What rack, rails and cabling must I already have to install this 24-bay 2.5-inch server?

You need a four-post rack with 2U of vertical space, sliding rails that fit the chassis depth, SAS or SATA cables for up to 24 hot-plug drives, and network patch cables for the four onboard 1GbE ports.

Can the H730 RAID controller and SAS backplane still use older 6Gbps SAS drives I already own?

Yes — the H730 12Gbps controller and 24-bay SAS backplane are backward compatible with 6Gbps SAS drives such as the three 900GB 10K drives included.
