Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system designed for dense local storage. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz and 8GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots.

Suits capacity-first workloads; not for GPU compute

This configuration fits archiving, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters that need up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA bays. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than one processor from day one, or solid-state primary storage should evaluate other platforms.

The H730 RAID controller defines expansion

The Perc H730 with 1GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed three 1.2TB 7.2K SAS drives and any additional bays. Matching the controller to your redundancy and capacity plan is the critical compatibility check.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the H730 RAID controller is managing the three 1.2TB SAS drives correctly after installation?

During boot, enter the H730 configuration utility (Ctrl+R) and confirm the virtual disk shows the expected RAID level and all three 1.2TB drives report Online status.

What components are included and what must I source separately for this R730XD?

The server ships with one E5-2630 v3 CPU, 8GB DDR4, three 1.2TB SAS drives in hot-plug trays, H730 RAID card, dual 750W power supplies and a DVD ROM; you must add a second CPU, extra memory, additional drives and an operating system.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this single-processor R730XD?

With one processor installed, populate the 12 DIMM slots associated with that CPU using matched DDR4 modules (4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB) up to 2400MT/s to reach the per-processor limit.
