Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for organisations that need dense internal storage and dual-socket compute in a single chassis. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 memory and three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives behind a PERC H730 RAID controller.

Storage capacity limit

The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. The installed H730 controller provides 1 GB cache and handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so the usable space depends entirely on the RAID level chosen and the number of drives populated.

Power and cooling

Dual redundant 750 W power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The 2U form factor uses front-to-rear airflow across the drive bays and CPU heatsinks; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and drive count, so a fully populated 24-drive configuration runs louder than a lightly loaded one.
