Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 600 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide the starting storage set. Redundant 750 W power supplies and hot-plug drive bays support continuous operation.

Suited for storage-heavy roles.

This server suits environments that need many drive bays and hardware RAID in a compact rack footprint. Database, backup and archiving tasks benefit from the 12-bay chassis and 12 Gbps controller. Workloads that demand high per-core frequency or large GPU accelerators should look elsewhere, as the installed CPU runs at 1.9 GHz and the chassis offers limited expansion for double-width cards.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with H330 RAID

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis paired with the PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines whether the system can meet the capacity and redundancy requirements of the target deployment.

Highlights

  • Up to 12 hot-plug 3.5" drive bays for dense storage
  • 24 DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 16GB per module
  • Dual 750W redundant power supplies maintain uptime
  • H330 12Gbps RAID controller enables RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60
  • Six-core Xeon E5-2609v3 at 1.9GHz handles core workloads

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the dual 750W redundant power supply get when the R730XD runs continuously?

The server uses two 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies designed for 2U rack density; fan speed scales with load and inlet temperature, so sustained operation stays within Dell thermal limits for the chassis.

Which rails, cables or drives must I already have to populate the remaining nine 3.5-inch hot-plug bays?

The chassis accepts up to 12 x 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives; three 600GB 15K SAS drives with trays are installed, so you only need additional 3.5-inch drives with compatible trays to fill the open bays.

Will the H330 RAID controller and 1GbE daughter card work with my older PCIe 2.0 expansion cards and SATA drives?

The system provides six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot; PCIe 3.0 is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 cards, and the H330 supports both SAS and SATA drives on the same backplane.
