Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system designed for dense internal storage. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor, ten cores at 2.3 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 memory, and three 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives behind an H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and twelve hot-plug 3.5-inch bays complete the chassis.

Fit and alternatives

This server suits teams that need high-capacity SAS or SATA arrays with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 in a compact 2U form factor. It also fits workloads that can run within 64 GB of installed memory and a single CPU socket. Buyers who require more than twelve drive bays, a second processor from day one, or memory beyond the 64 GB already populated should evaluate larger platforms.

Deciding specification

The twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays paired with the H730 controller define the storage ceiling: up to 52 TB raw capacity using SAS or SATA drives. If your dataset fits within that limit and the RAID levels offered cover your redundancy needs, the R730XD matches the requirement; if you need more bays or a different controller feature set, this chassis will not scale far enough.

Questions about this item

What rack space and mounting hardware are required to install this 2U server?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and needs a standard rack enclosure with matching mounting rails for the R730XD chassis.

Can the existing 1GbE daughter card stay in place if I add a 10GbE network daughter card later?

The system supports one network daughter card at a time; installing a 10GbE card replaces the factory 4-port 1GbE card.

How do I confirm the H730 controller sees all three 2TB SAS drives after first boot?

Open the H730 BIOS utility (Ctrl+R) or iDRAC8 storage view; both should list three 2TB 7.2K SAS drives in a healthy state.
