Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server 2x E5-2630 v3 64GB DDR4 3x 1TB SATA H330

Built for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for organisations that need high drive capacity in a compact chassis. It ships with dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives. The platform targets workloads such as backup repositories, media archives and virtualised storage clusters where raw capacity matters more than raw compute speed.

Fits a 12-bay hot-plug chassis

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives, while the included H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across all bays. Two 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote-management module free up administrator time for monitoring and firmware updates. Up to six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot remain available for additional network or HBA cards.

Suits capacity-first deployments

Teams that prioritise maximum terabytes per rack unit will find the 52 TB ceiling and 24 DIMM slots aligned with growth plans. Buyers who need faster flash performance, GPU acceleration or a smaller tower form factor should evaluate alternative platforms. The server arrives without an operating system, so installation and licensing are the responsibility of the receiving team.
