Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for capacity-hungry workloads. It fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays into a compact chassis. A single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory provide the compute base. The PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache manages SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

Suits Archive And Database Workloads

This configuration suits teams that need high spindle-count storage in two rack units, such as backup repositories, video surveillance archives or read-heavy databases. The three included 300 GB 15 K SAS drives deliver fast sequential access for small working sets. Buyers who need more than one processor, larger memory footprints beyond 48 GB, or solid-state primary storage should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve-Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis

The defining specification is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane that supports up to 52 TB of raw SAS or SATA capacity. This bay count in a 2U form factor determines whether the server can hold the data set you plan to store. If your capacity requirement exceeds what twelve large-form-factor drives can provide, a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 x 3.5" hot-plug bays accept the 3.5" SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the 12 bays support both SAS and SATA 3.5" drives, so existing SATA disks can be installed directly.

How can I confirm the H730 RAID controller is operating correctly after installation?

Check the controller BIOS during POST and verify the virtual disks show optimal status in the iDRAC8 interface.

Which components ship inside the chassis and what must I source separately?

The server includes one E5-2650v3 CPU, 48GB DDR4, three 300GB 15K SAS drives in trays, H730 controller, two 750W PSUs and a DVD drive; OS and extra CPUs or memory are not included.
