Silver 2U rack server front with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R730XD rack server 24×2.5" 2×E5-2630 v3 2.4GHz 64GB 3×1TB H330

SKU CH-65VX-2Y79N

2U rack server with 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays, dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs, 64GB DDR4 and three 1TB SATA drives on an H330 RAID controller

  • TypeRack
  • Rack Height2U
  • Redundant Hot-swap PowerYes
  • CPU TypeDual Intel Xeon
  • MAX Processors2
  • ChipsetIntel C610

Installed Memory Size 64GB

HDD 3 x 1TB

  • Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs provide 32 virtual cores for parallel workloads
  • 64 GB DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots supports memory-intensive applications
  • 24 hot-plug 2.5" drive bays enable up to 52 TB of SATA or SAS storage
  • H330 12 Gbps RAID controller handles RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 for data protection
  • Redundant 750 W power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure

Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis, delivering high capacity in a compact footprint. Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors provide 16 physical cores and 32 threads at 2.4 GHz, while 64 GB of DDR4 memory occupies part of the 24 available DIMM slots. Three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller are installed, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the system running during a module failure.

Suits cold storage and virtualization hosts

This configuration works well for backup repositories, archival workloads and moderate-density virtualization clusters that value drive count over raw IOPS. The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across SATA or SAS media, and the four onboard 1 GbE ports handle basic network connectivity. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or 10 GbE networking out of the box should evaluate other platforms, as those capabilities are not included in this unit.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis decides fit

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane, which caps the drive form factor and limits maximum raw capacity to 52 TB with current media. Memory tops out at 64 GB on this specific build, although the platform can accept up to 1 536 GB when fully populated. Expansion relies on six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot, and remote management is provided by iDRAC8 Express with optional Enterprise upgrades.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.4 GHz E5-2630 v3 CPUs and H330 controller work with my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives in the 24-bay chassis?

The server provides 24 hot-plug 2.5" bays that accept both SAS and SATA drives, and the H330 controller supports 12 Gbps SAS connectivity, so your 6 Gbps SAS drives will operate normally.

How can I verify the dual Xeon processors and 64 GB of DDR4 memory are recognised and healthy after first boot?

Enter the iDRAC8 web interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will display the two E5-2630 v3 CPUs with 32 logical threads and confirm 64 GB of DDR4 installed across the 24 DIMM slots.

Which items ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes the 2U chassis, dual 750 W redundant power supplies, two E5-2630 v3 CPUs, 64 GB DDR4, three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives with trays, the H330 RAID controller, DVD-ROM, and a 4-port 1 GbE daughter card; operating system, additional drives, extra memory modules, and 10 GbE networking cards are not included.
