Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz with 48 GB of DDR4 memory. It provides 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays populated with three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives and a Perc H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the configuration.

Suited for capacity-focused workloads

This system suits buyers who need high drive-count density in a 2U form factor with hardware RAID and redundant power for near-line storage, backup targets or virtualisation hosts that favour capacity over raw compute density. It is not suited for workloads that require more than one processor installed, more than 48 GB of memory without adding modules, or a pre-installed operating system.

24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis paired with the H730 controller, which determines how many drives can be addressed and which RAID levels are available. Buyers must confirm that the bay count, drive interface and RAID feature set match their storage topology before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does this server need a second Xeon E5-2630 v3 processor to fill all 24 DIMM slots?

Yes, the 24 DIMM slots are split 12 per processor, so a second CPU is required to use every slot.

Will the H730 RAID controller recognise my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives in the hot-plug bays?

The H730 supports SATA and SAS drives in the 24 hot-plug bays, so your 2.5-inch SATA drives will be recognised and can be configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is active after powering on the R730XD?

During POST the iDRAC8 banner appears with its IP address; you can then open that address in a browser to verify the Lifecycle Controller dashboard loads.
