Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD packs twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U rack footprint, making it a compact platform for capacity-heavy workloads. A single Xeon E5-2650 v3 delivers ten cores at 2.3 GHz with twenty virtual threads, while 16 GB of DDR4 and an H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache handle the included three 4 TB SAS drives.

Upgrade From Smaller Chassis

Teams running out of bays in a 1U or tower box gain twelve drive slots and redundant 750 W power supplies without expanding rack height. The jump is worthwhile when datasets exceed the 16 GB installed memory ceiling or when RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 must protect more than a handful of spindles.

Straightforward Rack Integration

Sliding rails and tool-less drive carriers let one person seat the chassis and populate bays in minutes. The iDRAC8 Express module provides remote KVM and power control before any operating system loads. Buyers who need a second CPU, 10 GbE networking or the full 1536 GB memory limit must order those parts separately.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the 2U R730XD require?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and measures 26.8 inches deep by 17.44 inches wide by 3.4 inches high.

How are the 3.5-inch drives installed in the 12 hot-plug bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into its carrier until the latch clicks, then insert the carrier into the bay until the release lever locks; the lever must be fully seated or the drive will not connect.

When will the two 750W redundant power supplies need replacement?

Replace a supply when the front-panel amber fault LED lights or iDRAC8 reports a power-supply failure; both units are hot-swap so the server stays running during the change.
