Dense storage server for archive workloads

The PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and a Perc H730 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors and 64 GB of DDR4 memory provide a balanced platform for cold-data storage, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters.

Verify rack space power and drive carrier supply

Confirm the cabinet can accept a 2U chassis measuring 26.8 inches deep and 17.44 inches wide with two 750 W redundant supplies. The system ships without drives or trays, so compatible SAS or SATA carriers must be sourced separately. The iDRAC8 Express remote management card is fitted; Enterprise features and vFlash media are optional upgrades.

Sustained throughput limited by controller

Under continuous write loads the H730 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps SAS links deliver steady parity calculations for RAID 5 or 6 arrays. CPU cores run at a fixed 1.9 GHz, so compute-heavy tasks such as erasure coding or inline deduplication will saturate before the storage subsystem. The Matrox G200 video output is intended solely for console access.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with hard drives or drive trays, and what must I purchase separately to populate the 12 x 3.5" bays?

No hard drives or trays are included. You must buy 3.5" SAS or SATA drives and compatible hot-plug trays for the 12 bays.

Should I choose the installed 64 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to expand toward the 1536 GB maximum using the 24 DIMM slots?

The system ships with 64 GB DDR4 across 24 slots (12 per processor). Add matched DDR4 modules up to 128 GB each to reach the 1536 GB limit.

What does the 1.9 GHz clock speed of the dual E5-2609 v3 CPUs mean for real-world throughput with the H730 RAID controller?

Two six-core Xeon processors at 1.9 GHz deliver 12 total cores for parallel workloads, while the H730 12 Gbps controller handles RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across the drive bays.
