Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits two Xeon E5-2609v3 processors and 32 GB of DDR4 memory into a 2U rack chassis. Twenty-four hot-plug 2.5-inch bays give a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB for SAS or SATA drives. The integrated H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 without occupying a PCIe slot.

Steady throughput for mixed workloads

Dual six-core CPUs at 1.9 GHz deliver consistent multi-threaded performance across virtualisation, database and file-serving tasks. The H330’s 12 Gbps SAS backbone sustains sequential and random I/O without the throttling seen on entry-level RAID adapters. Twenty-four DIMM slots allow memory to scale to 1536 GB when application working sets grow.

Redundant power and remote control

Twin 750 W hot-swap supplies keep the system running if one unit fails or a feed is lost. The Matrox G200 video subsystem draws minimal power for console output. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and power cycling from any network-attached workstation.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual 750W redundant power supply run under continuous 24/7 load?

The server uses two 750W hot-swap power supplies with redundant operation; fan speed scales with inlet temperature and total power draw, so sustained full load will increase airflow and acoustic output proportionally.

Which drive trays and caddies must I supply to populate the 24 x 2.5" hot-plug bays?

The chassis accepts standard Dell 2.5" hot-plug SAS or SATA drive carriers; no trays or drives are included, so you must provide compatible caddies for every bay you intend to fill.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 expansion cards fit the available slots alongside the dedicated H330 RAID controller?

The system offers up to six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID card slot; the H330 occupies the dedicated slot, leaving the full-length PCIe 3.0 slots free for additional cards.
