Dense 2U rack server for storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays in a 2U chassis, driven by dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors at 1.9 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. A Perc H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA drives. Two 750 W redundant supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Suits archives, backup targets

The twelve-bay layout and H730 RAID engine serve workloads that prioritise raw capacity over compute density. Buyers who need more than twelve drive bays, faster per-core performance, or GPU acceleration should evaluate other configurations. The installed memory already reaches the 128 GB ceiling supported by the fitted processors.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with H730 RAID

The single decisive specification is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the Perc H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines whether the chassis can hold the required spindle count and redundancy scheme.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the H730 RAID controller and dual E5-2609v3 CPUs are detected after installation?

Use the iDRAC8 interface or enter the system BIOS during boot; both will list the Perc H730 controller, 128GB DDR4 memory and the two six-core 1.9GHz Xeon processors.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately?

The server ships with dual CPUs, 128GB DDR4, H730 RAID card, two 750W redundant power supplies, DVD drive, iDRAC8 and a power cable; drive trays, hard drives, rail kit, bezel, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included.

Should I choose a configuration with more memory or additional drive bays for this R730XD?

Memory is already at the 128GB installed limit shown for this unit; the chassis provides 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays, so select drives to fill the bays rather than seeking a larger memory option.
