Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays into a 2U rack chassis, making it a dense platform for workloads that prioritise local capacity over raw compute. Dual six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots give enough threads for file services, backup targets or secondary databases.

Storage controller and media

A Perc H330 12 Gbps RAID controller manages the three factory-installed 900 GB 10 K SAS drives and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the full bay count. The controller and bay count let you scale from a small mirrored set to a 52 TB raw array without adding external enclosures, while the DVD-ROM handles occasional media installs.

Redundant power and remote management

Dual 750 W hot-swap supplies keep the system running through a single-module failure, and the iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and virtual console access. Four onboard 1 GbE ports handle production traffic, while up to six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot leave room for 10 GbE daughter cards, additional HBAs or GPU accelerators.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the three 900 GB 10K SAS drives require?

The three 900 GB 10K SAS drives are hot-pluggable; a failed unit can be swapped without powering down the server.

What limit appears first under sustained load with the dual E5-2609 v3 1.9 GHz CPUs?

The six-core 1.9 GHz processors will reach full utilisation before memory or storage bandwidth becomes the bottleneck.

How much heat and power do the two 750 W redundant supplies draw when the rack server runs all day?

Dual 750 W redundant supplies share the load, so each unit typically operates well below its maximum rating during continuous operation.
