2U Rack Server with 12 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It arrives with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 300 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide immediate array configuration. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits Cold Storage Archives, Not Compute Clusters

This configuration fits buyers who need many 3.5-inch drive bays behind a hardware RAID controller for sequential throughput. The installed CPU cores and memory capacity are fixed at the listed values, so the system does not suit workloads that demand higher core counts, larger memory footprints or GPU acceleration. Buyers who require more than two processors or an operating system pre-loaded should look elsewhere.

12-Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis Decides Fit

The chassis provides up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives, setting the physical storage limit. The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across those bays. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52 TB when all bays are populated. Verify that your rack depth and power distribution match the 2U form factor and dual supply design.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W redundant supplies draw under full load?

Each 750W redundant supply can deliver up to 750 watts; the system runs on dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core 1.9GHz CPUs and 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, so actual draw depends on workload and drive count.

What rails or rack depth are needed to mount this 2U chassis?

The server measures 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high; standard square-hole or round-hole rails for a 2U rack will secure it, and trays for the 3.5-inch drives are included.

Can the H330 controller use the 12Gbps SAS backplane with older 6Gbps SAS drives?

Yes, the H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 and negotiates down to 6Gbps for the installed 300GB 15K SAS drives, so legacy drives work without change.
