Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server

Dell PowerEdge R730XD ships with dual six-core Xeon E5-2609v3 processors at 1.9 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 300 GB 15K SAS drives on a H330 RAID controller. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and redundant 750 W power supplies. No operating system is included.

Suits capacity-focused workloads

This configuration fits archives, backup repositories and cold-storage clusters that benefit from dense 3.5-inch drive bays and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of memory or faster compute cores should evaluate other options.

Dual E5-2609v3 at 1.9 GHz

The installed processors set the ceiling for single-thread speed and total core count. Memory can scale to 1536 GB across 24 DIMM slots, but CPU performance remains fixed at six cores per socket running at 1.9 GHz.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 DIMM slots are free for future memory upgrades?

The server has 24 DDR4 DIMM slots total with 16GB installed, leaving most slots available for expansion up to the 1536GB maximum using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB modules.

Which component limits sustained throughput first — the H330 controller or the 15K SAS drives?

The three 300GB 15K 6Gbps SAS drives will reach their IOPS and throughput ceiling before the H330 12Gbps RAID controller becomes a bottleneck.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 750W PSUs running 24/7?

Dual 750W redundant power supplies and 12 hot-plug drive bays mean active cooling runs continuously; expect noticeable fan noise and steady heat output in a rack environment.
