PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U rack server is built for environments that need dense storage and dual-processor compute in a standard rack footprint. It suits IT teams running virtualisation hosts, database nodes or backup targets where drive count matters more than single-thread speed. Buyers who want a compact tower or a single-socket platform should look elsewhere.

24-bay SAS capacity with H330 RAID

The chassis holds up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives; three 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives are installed. The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, giving flexibility for redundancy or throughput. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52 TB, so workloads that exceed that ceiling will need external expansion.

Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 with 16 GB DDR4

Two eight-core Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors run at 2.4 GHz, providing 32 threads with hyper-threading. Memory is populated to 16 GB across 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, leaving substantial headroom for upgrades up to the platform limit. The CPU and chipset combination fixes the PCIe 3.0 lane budget and memory-channel count, which determines whether the server fits a given application profile.
