2U rack server with 12 × 3.5″ drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and a PERC H330 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Two hot-swap 750 W power supplies provide redundancy.

Storage-dense workloads

The twelve 3.5″ hot-plug bays suit archives, backup targets or media libraries that favour high-capacity SAS or SATA drives. Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot allow additional network or storage cards. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of installed memory, integrated 10 GbE networking or GPU compute should look elsewhere.

PERC H330 RAID controller with twelve 3.5″ bays

The H330 controller manages up to twelve 3.5″ SAS or SATA drives in multiple RAID levels, delivering a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. This combination of controller and bay count is the deciding factor for deployments that prioritise dense, redundant storage in a 2U form factor.

Questions about this item

Does the server arrive with drives or trays, and what else must I purchase to start using the 12 3.5 inch bays?

Should I choose the installed 16 GB or add more DDR4, and what are the limits?

The system ships with 16 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1536 GB total using 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB modules at 2400 MT/s.

What does the H330 RAID controller with 12 Gbps throughput mean for my storage array?
