Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and a Perc H730 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twenty-four hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays provide up to 52TB of raw capacity, while dual 750W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the chassis.

Suits high-density SAS or SATA arrays

This configuration fits teams that need maximum drive-count in a 2U form factor for backup targets, software-defined storage nodes or archival workloads running on SAS or SATA media. The single-socket layout and fixed 64GB memory ceiling limit virtualisation density, so environments requiring two processors, larger memory footprints or factory-installed drives and rail kits should evaluate other models.

Twenty-four hot-plug 2.5-inch bays

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane, which determines whether the chassis can accommodate the required number of SAS or SATA drives. Buyers must confirm that their storage design fits within this bay count and the supported RAID levels before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the server include any hard drives or drive trays, or do I need to buy them separately?

The R730XD ships with no hard drives and no trays; you must supply up to 24 x 2.5" SAS or SATA drives and matching trays yourself.

The spec lists a single E5-2609 v3 at 1.9GHz — can a second processor be added later?

Yes, the board supports two CPUs and has 12 DIMM slots per socket, so a second compatible Xeon can be installed when you need more cores.

The H730 controller is rated at 12Gbps — what throughput can I expect with a full set of 24 drives?

The 12Gbps SAS link is shared across all 24 bays, so aggregate throughput depends on drive mix and RAID level rather than a single fixed number.
