Dense 12-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rackmount system designed for capacity-focused deployments. It ships with dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors, 32 GB of DDR4 memory and three 2 TB SAS drives behind a PERC H330 RAID controller. Redundant 750 W power supplies and 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays complete the package.

Buyers needing massive local storage on a budget

This configuration suits archives, backup targets or cold-data repositories that can run on six-core CPUs and a modest 32 GB memory ceiling. Organisations that require higher core counts, faster memory speeds or more than 52 TB of raw capacity should evaluate larger platforms.

Max raw capacity of 52 TB

The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, yielding a 52 TB ceiling with the installed H330 controller. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 are available, so the final usable space depends on the chosen redundancy scheme.

Questions about this item

What rack and rails are required to mount the 2U PowerEdge R730XD?

The server is a 2U rack unit measuring 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high; it needs a standard four-post rack and compatible sliding rails for installation.

Can the H330 controller manage both the installed SAS drives and additional SATA drives in the remaining bays?

Yes, the H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports SAS and SATA drives across up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays with RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60.

How can I verify the dual E5-2609 v3 CPUs and 32GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

Check the iDRAC8 interface or POST screen; both should show two six-core 1.9GHz Xeon processors and 32GB of DDR4 memory across the 24 DIMM slots.
