2U rack server with 12 hot-plug 3.5" bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller are installed. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included.

Suits storage-heavy tasks with room to grow

This configuration fits environments that need high-capacity SAS or SATA storage in a compact rack footprint. The 12 drive bays and RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 support allow large arrays, while 24 DIMM slots and a second CPU socket provide expansion headroom. Buyers who need more than one processor, more than 16 GB of memory out of the box, or 10 GbE networking by default should evaluate other options.

Single Xeon E5-2609 v3 limits compute density

The installed processor provides six cores at 1.9 GHz with no Hyper-Threading, which caps thread count for virtualisation or database workloads. Memory currently sits at 16 GB across 24 slots, so any increase requires additional DDR4 modules. This spec is the primary factor when deciding if the server matches the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Does the server need a second Xeon E5-2609 v3 processor to reach the 1536GB DDR4 maximum?

The 24 DIMM slots are split 12 per processor, so a second CPU is required to populate all slots and reach the 1536GB DDR4 limit.

Can I keep my existing 3.5-inch SATA drives and use them in the remaining hot-plug bays?

The chassis accepts up to 12 x 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, so existing SATA drives will work in the empty bays alongside the installed SAS drives.

How can I verify the H330 controller sees the three 4TB SAS drives in a healthy RAID array?

Use the iDRAC8 interface or the H330 BIOS utility during boot to confirm all three 4TB SAS drives are detected and the virtual disk reports optimal status.
