Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller are included for immediate array configuration.

24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug drive chassis

The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, delivering a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. The installed H730 controller provides 1 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all populated bays.

Tool-less drive installation

Drives slide into the front bays without tools, and the H730 controller occupies a dedicated slot leaving up to six PCIe 3.0 slots free. Verify that the iDRAC8 Express licence matches your remote-management needs before deployment.

Questions about this item

What does the 32 GB DDR4 installed memory mean for actual workloads?

The system ships with 32 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, 12 per processor, running at speeds the E5-2609 v3 CPUs support. The installed 32 GB equals the specification maximum listed, so no further expansion is possible without replacing modules.

How does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller limit drive performance?

The H730 1 GB 12 Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and connects to the 2.5" SATA bays. The three installed 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives will operate at SATA 6 Gbps link speed, capped by the drive interface rather than the controller.

What rack space and mounting does the 2U chassis require?

The server is a 2U rack unit measuring 26.8" deep, 17.44" wide and 3.4" high, weighing 60 lbs. It fits a standard 4-post rack and uses sliding rails for the 24 hot-plug 2.5" drive bays and redundant 750 W power supplies.
