Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U rack height. A single Xeon E5-2650 v3 with ten cores at 2.3 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 across twenty-four DIMM slots handles virtualisation and database workloads. Dual 750 W redundant supplies and the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller with RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 keep the array online.

Upgrade from limited bays or older controllers

Moving from a chassis with fewer drive slots or a 6 Gbps RAID card adds capacity and throughput for growing datasets. The jump is worth it when current bays are full and the workload needs more spindles or faster rebuilds without a larger rack footprint.

Sustained array workloads

Under continuous read or write streams the H330 controller manages parity calculations while the dual power supplies share load. The ten-core processor maintains steady throughput for virtual machines or backup targets without thermal throttling in a cooled rack.

Questions about this item

What rack depth is required to mount the 2U server?

The chassis measures 26.8 inches deep, so a standard 4-post rack with at least 28 inches of usable depth will accommodate it.

How do I install the PERC H330 controller and what step is often missed?

Seat the card in the dedicated RAID slot on the riser, then attach the two internal SAS cables to the backplane; the step most people skip is connecting the cables before sliding the server fully into the rack.

Which memory modules can I use later to reach the 1536 GB maximum?

Add DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs in 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB capacities up to 2400 MT/s, populating the 12 slots per processor evenly for best performance.
