Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and includes a DVD ROM drive. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies are installed.

PERC H330 RAID controller with twelve drive bays

The storage subsystem centres on a Dell PERC H330 controller providing 12 Gbps SAS connectivity. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the twelve front-accessible bays. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52 TB when the bays are fully populated. No drives or drive trays are included in this configuration.

Suits storage-heavy clusters needing expandable bays

This server suits buyers who need a high bay count in a 2U form factor for archival, backup or software-defined storage clusters. The installed memory is fixed at 16 GB and the CPU choice offers six cores per socket, so buyers who need larger memory footprints or higher per-core performance should look at other configurations.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.9 GHz clock speed mean for real-world throughput?

The dual E5-2609 v3 processors each run six cores at 1.9 GHz, giving twelve threads for parallel workloads such as virtualization or database serving.

How does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller limit drive performance?

The H330 supports SAS and SATA drives at up to 12 Gbps and handles RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60, so the controller caps sustained throughput at the drive interface speed.

What physical space and mounting does the 2U chassis require?

The server measures 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, and fits a standard 2U rack opening; rails are not included.
