Product identity

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz, 96 GB of DDR4 memory, and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays.

Fit and alternatives

The configuration suits organisations that need high drive-count capacity in a compact rack footprint with redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management. Buyers who need more than 96 GB of active memory with only one processor, who require faster drive interfaces than SAS or SATA, or who lack rails and a bezel for immediate mounting should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane combined with the H330 controller determines whether this chassis matches the storage density and RAID requirements of the target deployment.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the single E5-2650 v3 processor and 96 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface or enter the BIOS; both will show the ten-core 2.3 GHz Xeon with 20 virtual threads and all 96 GB of DDR4 populated across the 24 DIMM slots.

The listing says no drives or trays are included — what exactly ships in the box and what must I source separately?

The server arrives with two 750 W redundant power supplies, a DVD-ROM drive, one power cable, the H330 RAID controller, a four-port 1 GbE daughter card, and the Matrox G200 video chip; you must supply 2.5" SAS or SATA drives, drive trays, rails, bezel, and an operating system.

With 24 drive bays and a 52 TB maximum, which drive capacity should I choose to hit that limit?

Populate all 24 hot-plug bays with 2.5" drives of 2 TB each; the H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the full array.
