Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with 10 cores running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 available DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Three 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives occupy three of the 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resilience for continuous operation.

Suited for dense storage workloads with room to grow

The chassis supports up to 24 SATA or SAS drives and the H730 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, making it a fit for file serving, backup targets or archive storage that can expand well beyond the three drives included. A second processor can be added later to double compute threads and unlock the full 12 DIMM slots per socket. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, integrated GPU acceleration or drive interfaces other than SATA or SAS should evaluate different platforms.

Maximum raw capacity of 52 TB across 24 bays

The system’s specification lists a maximum hard-drive capacity of 52 TB, which is the single figure that determines whether the storage ceiling meets the project’s dataset size before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections are required to install this 2U server?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with two 750W redundant power supplies, so two separate power circuits are needed for full redundancy.

Can the installed H730 RAID controller manage both the three 1TB SATA drives and additional SAS drives I might add later?

Yes, the H730 1GB 12Gbps controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across SAS and SATA drives in the 24 hot-plug 2.5" bays.

How can I confirm the single Xeon E5-2650 v3 is recognised with all 10 cores and 20 threads after power-on?

During POST the BIOS will display the processor as a 10-core 2.3GHz Xeon with 20 logical threads, and iDRAC8 will report the same details in its system inventory.
