Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It fits twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and ships with three 1 TB SATA drives on an H330 RAID controller. A single Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory handle core compute tasks. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the platform running.

Suits storage-heavy roles, not heavy compute

This server suits teams that need maximum drive count in a 2U form factor for backup, archiving or software-defined storage. The single six-core CPU and 48 GB memory ceiling limit virtualization density and database performance. Buyers who need more processors, more memory or faster drive interfaces should look at a different platform.

Single Xeon E5-2609 v3 limits expandability

The installed Xeon E5-2609 v3 provides six cores at 1.9 GHz and the board supports a second socket, but maximum memory is capped at 48 GB across twenty-four DDR4 slots. This processor and memory ceiling is the deciding factor for workloads that scale beyond entry-level throughput.

Questions about this item

How does the single 1.9 GHz six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 perform in a live 2U rack server?

The installed E5-2609 v3 provides six cores at 1.9 GHz; a second identical processor can be added to the second socket for doubled thread count.

What does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller limit for the 2.5" SATA drives?

The H330 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to 24 hot-plug bays; each SATA drive runs at 6 Gbps.

What physical space and rails does the 2U chassis require?

The unit measures 26.8" deep, 17.44" wide and 3.4" high (2U) and weighs 60 lbs; standard Dell 2U sliding rails are needed for rack mounting.
