2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server fitted with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors at 1.9 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a Perc H330 RAID controller. It ships with three 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives installed in hot-plug bays and dual 750 W redundant power supplies. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and includes a DVD-ROM drive.

Organisations needing dense SAS

This server suits teams that want a high-capacity 3.5-inch platform for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 arrays using the included H330 controller. Buyers who require more than twelve drive bays, 2.5-inch form factors or additional PCIe expansion beyond the six available slots should consider other platforms. The installed 16 GB of DDR4 is a starting point; the board offers twenty-four DIMM slots for much larger memory configurations.

Maximum raw capacity of 52 TB across twelve bays

The specifications list a maximum hard-drive capacity of 52 TB, which is the single figure that determines whether the storage ceiling meets the project requirement. Populate all twelve bays with compatible SAS or SATA drives to reach that limit, using the H330 controller for the supported RAID levels.

Questions about this item

What does the H330 12Gbps RAID controller limit in practice?

The H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 and connects up to twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives at 6Gbps or 12Gbps per port.

What physical space and mounting does this 2U server require?

It occupies 2U in a standard rack, measuring 26.8 inches deep by 17.44 inches wide by 3.4 inches high and weighs 60 lbs.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Two E5-2609 v3 processors are pre-installed; 16GB DDR4 occupies some of the 24 DIMM slots — fill slots per processor in the correct channel order to reach full speed.
