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 E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 900 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache are included. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Suits storage-heavy roles; not for GPU compute

This configuration fits backup, archive or software-defined storage clusters that need up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays behind a 12 Gbps RAID controller. The single CPU and lack of installed GPUs make it a poor match for virtualisation hosts that demand high core counts or for AI, rendering or VDI workloads that require accelerator cards. Buyers needing more than 64 GB of RAM or a second processor should look at a different chassis.

24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis with H730 RAID

The defining spec is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. That combination decides whether the server can deliver the IOPS and capacity density your dataset requires.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H730 controller support and what does that limit the installed drives to?

The H730 is a 12 Gbps RAID controller, but the three supplied 900 GB SAS drives run at 6 Gbps, so the array will operate at the lower 6 Gbps rate.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the 2U chassis provide and are trays included?

The chassis holds up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives; trays are included only with drives purchased for the system.

How is the H730 RAID card installed and what slot mistake should be avoided?

The H730 occupies the dedicated RAID card slot, not a standard PCIe 3.0 slot, so do not insert it into one of the six general-purpose PCIe slots.
