12-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 600 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a Perc H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the baseline configuration.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This system suits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch hot-plug storage — up to 12 bays — with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 and remote management via iDRAC8. It is not for buyers who need more than 32 GB of installed memory without adding modules, who require 10 GbE networking without an optional daughter card, or who want solid-state drives included.

The specification that decides fit

The installed memory is capped at 32 GB, matching the listed maximum capacity, so any workload needing more RAM will require a different platform or a configuration change before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 32 GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules up to the 24 DIMM slots?

The server ships with 32 GB DDR4 installed. It has 24 DIMM slots total and supports up to 1536 GB, so you can expand later if your workload needs more memory.

What does the 1.9 GHz clock on the dual E5-2609 v3 CPUs mean for real-world throughput?

Each E5-2609 v3 has six cores running at 1.9 GHz, giving 12 cores total for parallel tasks such as virtualization or database work.

How does the 12 Gbps H730 controller limit the 6 Gbps SAS drives in practice?

The PERC H730 runs at 12 Gbps, but the installed 600 GB SAS drives operate at 6 Gbps, so the array speed is capped at the drive link rate.
