Server identity

This is a Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processors running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots, three 300 GB 15K SAS drives, and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the chassis.

Fit and limits

The platform suits buyers who need dense 3.5-inch hot-plug storage in a 2U form factor with up to twelve drive bays and hardware RAID. It does not suit buyers who need more than the installed 16 GB of memory without purchasing additional modules, or workloads that require more than three drives or solid-state storage out of the box.

Deciding specification

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays backed by a 12 Gbps H330 controller, setting the maximum raw capacity at 52 TB and defining how many spindles the server can hold.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the H330 12Gbps controller support?

The H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60.

What are the chassis dimensions and bay layout for this 2U server?

The chassis measures 26.8 by 17.44 by 3.4 inches and provides up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays.

How are the 300 GB 15K SAS drives installed, and what common step is missed?

Drives slide into the front hot-plug bays with their included trays; the RAID array must be created in the H330 BIOS before the OS sees any volume.
