Dense 2U storage server

This 2U rack server combines up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory. The H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across three included 900 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Teams needing high drive density in 2U

The chassis fits 24 SAS or SATA bays, making it suited to workloads that prioritise local capacity over compute scale. Organisations that require dual CPUs, more than 48 GB of installed memory, or PCIe-attached flash should evaluate other configurations.

Single-socket Xeon E5-2650 v3

One ten-core 2.3 GHz processor is installed with 20 logical threads via hyper-threading; a second socket is empty but supported. Memory currently occupies 48 GB across the 24 DIMM slots and cannot exceed 48 GB without adding the second CPU.

Questions about this item

What comes inside the 2U chassis and which essential items must be purchased separately?

The server ships with one E5-2650 v3 processor, 48 GB DDR4, three 900 GB 10K SAS drives in trays, H730 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant supplies, DVD drive and iDRAC8 Express. Operating system and additional drives or memory must be bought separately.

Should I select the single-processor 48 GB configuration or upgrade to the dual-processor maximum of 1536 GB?

Choose the single-processor 48 GB unit for lighter workloads; add the second Xeon and populate up to 24 DIMM slots with DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s when you need the full 1536 GB capacity.

How does the H730 controller’s 12 Gbps SAS link perform with the installed 6 Gbps 900 GB drives in a live RAID array?

The H730 runs the three 900 GB 10K drives at their native 6 Gbps speed, delivering RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 redundancy while the 12 Gbps backplane leaves headroom for faster SAS or SSD upgrades later.
