Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U rack footprint. It ships with a single eight-core Xeon E5-2630v3 at 2.4 GHz, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives behind an H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the platform running. This configuration targets teams that need high capacity in limited rack space.

Expands from smaller 1U or tower systems

Moving up from a 1U chassis or a tower server adds twelve drive bays and a second processor socket without increasing rack height. The jump is worthwhile when storage growth outpaces the bay count of a 1U box or when a second Xeon is planned for heavier virtualization workloads. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous I/O the twelve-bay backplane and 12 Gbps H730 controller maintain throughput across all active drives. Redundant 750 W supplies share the load so a single unit failure does not interrupt operation. Four 1 GbE ports on the daughter card provide steady network connectivity. The iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without host OS involvement.

Questions about this item

How much rack height does the 2U PowerEdge R730XD require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space, measuring 3.4 inches high, 17.44 inches wide and 26.8 inches deep.

What is the correct order for installing the H730 RAID controller and the three 1TB drives?

Seat the H730 card in its dedicated RAID slot first, then insert the 3.5-inch drives into the hot-plug bays; the controller will detect them on boot.

Which memory modules are compatible for future upgrades?

Use DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs at 2400 MT/s; the system has 24 slots supporting up to 1536 GB total with 4 GB through 128 GB per module.
