2U rack server with 24 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. It ships with three 1 TB 7.2K SATA 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 base configuration.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This chassis targets users who need up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives in 2U of rack space for capacity-oriented workloads such as backup targets, media archives or software-defined storage nodes. The single-socket configuration and H330 controller limit performance for compute-heavy virtualisation clusters or databases that demand two processors or hardware-accelerated flash tiers. Buyers who need more than one CPU installed or who require a controller with onboard cache for high-IOPS flash arrays should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane decides fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane that accepts SAS or SATA drives and connects to the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller. This density determines whether the server fits the rack space and storage-capacity plan; all other specifications scale around this chassis constraint.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays for all 24 bays or only for the three installed 1 TB drives?

Trays are included with the three installed 1 TB drives; additional trays must be purchased for the remaining empty bays.

Should I choose the single E5-2609 v3 at 1.9 GHz or add a second processor for this R730XD?

The board supports up to two CPUs with 12 DIMM slots each; adding a second processor doubles thread count and unlocks the full 1536 GB memory ceiling.

What does the 64 GB DDR4 installed today mean for actual workload capacity on this 24-slot system?

64 GB fills only a fraction of the 24 DIMM slots, leaving room to scale to 1536 GB when workloads demand more memory bandwidth and capacity.
