Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around twelve hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processors at 2.3 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives on an H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Archive and Capacity Workloads

This configuration suits teams needing high spindle count in a compact rack footprint for backup targets, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. The twelve-bay chassis and SAS connectivity favour sequential throughput and large volume RAID sets. Buyers who require more than 16 GB of memory from day one, who need PCIe flash tiers, or who depend on single-thread speed above the installed CPUs should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve-Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis

The defining constraint is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays, which set the maximum raw capacity at 52 TB and dictate the SAS or SATA drive types that can be installed. Memory expansion is possible up to 1536 GB across 24 DIMM slots, but the shipping 16 GB may limit immediate virtualisation density. Verify that your workload fits the bay count and the installed RAID level before purchase.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 DIMM capacities and speeds does the R730XD support with the E5-2650 v3 processors?

The 24 DIMM slots accept 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB DDR4 modules running up to 2400MT/s, with actual speed limited by the processor capability.

Can the 12 x 3.5" hot-plug bays use my existing SATA drives as well as SAS?

Yes, the backplane supports both SAS and SATA 3.5" drives, so older SATA disks can be mixed with the supplied 2TB SAS drives.

How do I confirm the H330 controller sees all three 2TB drives and the RAID array is healthy?

Open the H330 BIOS utility or iDRAC8 storage view during boot to verify each 2TB SAS drive is detected and the configured RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 volume shows optimal status.
