Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD packs twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays into a two-rack-unit chassis. A single Xeon E5-2650 v3 with ten cores at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory handles virtualisation or database workloads. Dual 750 W redundant supplies keep the system running through a power-module failure.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps SAS connectivity maintains throughput across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 during long write sequences. Three 300 GB 15 K RPM drives deliver consistent IOPS for mixed read-write patterns. Six PCIe 3.0 slots allow additional NICs or HBAs without saturating the bus.

Interface Practical Limits

SAS backplane bandwidth and the H730's 12 Gbps lanes cap aggregate drive throughput below the theoretical maximum of twenty-four drives. The four-port 1 GbE daughter card limits east-west traffic to one gigabit per link unless an optional 10 GbE NDC is installed. Maximum supported memory reaches 1536 GB across twenty-four DIMM slots.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730XD run with its dual 750W redundant supplies under continuous load?

Dual 750W redundant power supplies share the load, reducing per-unit stress and fan speed during all-day operation.

What cabling and drives must I already have to populate the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane?

The chassis accepts up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives; each drive requires its own carrier tray and SAS/SATA data cable to the backplane.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 add-in cards work in the six available expansion slots alongside the dedicated H730 RAID slot?

Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID-card slot support standard PCIe 3.0 cards; install cards in any open slot without displacing the H730 controller.
