Built for storage density

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for organisations that need twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays in a compact form factor. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB SATA drives behind a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits archive and capacity workloads

The twelve-bay chassis and RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, 60 support make this system a fit for backup repositories, media archives or surveillance storage where raw capacity matters more than low-latency IOPS. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU-accelerated compute or a second CPU installed from day one should evaluate alternative platforms.

Deciding factor: twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The defining specification is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H330 controller, which together determine whether the server can hold the required number of spinning drives. If the deployment calls for fewer bays, 2.5-inch flash or a different RAID feature set, a different chassis will be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.3 GHz ten-core Xeon deliver once installed in the R730XD?

The single E5-2650 v3 provides ten physical cores at 2.3 GHz with hyper-threading for twenty virtual cores, handling multi-threaded workloads across the C610 chipset.

How does the H330 controller limit drive performance in this chassis?

The H330 12 Gbps RAID controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives in RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60, capping throughput at the controller's 12 Gbps interface.

What rack space and power connections does the 2U unit require?

The server occupies 2U of rack height, measures 26.8 inches deep by 17.44 inches wide by 3.4 inches high, and needs two 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies.
