Ready-to-rack 2U storage server

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD arrives as a complete 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. A single Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz provides twenty threads, while 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 2 TB SAS drives give immediate capacity for file serving or backup workloads.

Twelve-bay SAS limit and RAID options

The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the twelve SAS or SATA drive slots. Each bay accepts 6 Gbps SAS or SATA media, and the chassis maximum is 52 TB raw, so plan drive sizes and redundancy level to stay within that ceiling.

Check power, rails and memory growth

Dual 750 W redundant supplies need matching PDU connectors and rack rails suited to the 26.8-inch depth. The board offers twenty-four DIMM slots for DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s, but the installed CPU caps usable speed, so verify memory compatibility before adding modules.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2650 v3 or add a second processor?

The server supports up to two CPUs. One E5-2650 v3 gives 10 cores and 20 threads at 2.3 GHz. Adding a second doubles those counts and opens the remaining 12 DIMM slots for memory beyond the installed 16 GB.

What does the 2.3 GHz figure mean once the server is running workloads?

Each of the 10 cores runs at a base frequency of 2.3 GHz. With Hyper-Threading the operating system sees 20 logical threads, so multi-threaded applications can keep all execution units busy at that clock rate.

How does the H330 controller and 6 Gbps SAS drives limit real-world throughput?

The H330 is a 12 Gbps RAID controller, but the three installed 2 TB drives are 7.2K 6 Gbps SAS models. Sequential reads and writes will therefore be capped at the 6 Gbps drive interface, not the controller maximum.
