2U rack server for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays in a 2U chassis and ships with a single Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz plus 64 GB of DDR4 memory across the 24 DIMM slots. It targets workloads that need local capacity over raw compute density.

Dual 750 W supplies and front-to-rear airflow

Redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails while the 2U form factor uses front-to-rear cooling across the drive cage and CPU heatsinks. The H730 RAID controller adds its own 1 GB cache module which draws additional power under heavy write loads.

H730 controller with 1 GB cache

The Perc H730 provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the three included 300 GB 15 K SAS drives and any future additions. iDRAC8 Express gives out-of-band console access and lifecycle firmware updates without an operating system installed.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 300GB SAS drives into the 12-bay front panel and what step is often missed?

Slide each 3.5-inch drive into a hot-plug bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the H730 BIOS before the OS installer can see any volume.

What maintenance or replacement will the H730 RAID controller need later?

The H730 uses a 1GB cache module backed by a non-volatile flash; if the flash or cache battery degrades, the controller will throttle write-back mode until the module is replaced.

What limit appears first when the single 1.9GHz Xeon runs sustained workloads?

With only six cores at 1.9GHz, CPU compute throughput saturates before the 64GB DDR4 capacity or the 12Gbps SAS bandwidth become bottlenecks.
