Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD packs twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays into a two-rack-unit chassis, making it a compact platform for capacity-hungry workloads. Dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors at 1.9 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 deliver baseline compute for file serving, backup targets or software-defined storage nodes.

Upgrade from smaller arrays

The 24-bay layout replaces 12-bay or 8-bay systems when raw capacity or drive count must grow without consuming extra rack space. The jump is worth it when RAID 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 across three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives on the H730 controller no longer satisfies performance or redundancy requirements.

Build integration

Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot leave room for 10 GbE daughter cards, extra HBAs or GPU accelerators. Redundant 750 W supplies and iDRAC8 remote management simplify power and monitoring, while the DVD-ROM and Matrox G200 video cover basic install and console needs.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the R730XD require for mounting?

The server is a 2U rack-mount chassis, occupying two rack units in a standard enclosure.

How are the 2.5-inch drives installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the 24 hot-plug front bays; the carrier release latch must be fully engaged until it clicks, or the drive will not connect.

Which components will need replacement over the server's life?

The two 750 W redundant power supplies and the 300 GB 15 K SAS drives are the primary field-replaceable units; the H730 RAID controller and system fans can also be swapped.
