2U rack server with 12-bay 3.5" storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives installed in hot-plug bays. A PERC H330 RAID controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, while dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resilience.

Suits storage-heavy workloads with room to grow

This configuration fits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity in a 2U form factor and can expand up to 12 drives or 52 TB total. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory upgrades to 1 536 GB when paired with supported processors. Buyers who require more than the installed 16 GB of memory or more than four 1 GbE ports without adding a network daughter card should consider other options.

PERC H330 controller with 12 Gbps SAS/SATA

The single specification that determines fit is the PERC H330 RAID controller, which delivers 12 Gbps connectivity to SAS or SATA drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Verify that your drive type and RAID requirements match this controller before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the bays support both SAS and SATA drives; the installed H330 controller handles SATA at 6 Gbps.

How can I verify the dual E5-2609v3 processors and 16 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two six-core 1.9 GHz CPUs and the 16 GB memory total.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately?

The chassis includes two 750 W redundant PSUs, H330 RAID card, three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives with trays, DVD-ROM, four 1 GbE ports and iDRAC8 Express; rails, OS licences and extra drives or memory are not supplied.
