Rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with three 600 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits dense storage workloads; not for GPU compute

This chassis fits up to twelve hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, making it a fit for backup targets, surveillance archives or database nodes that prioritise capacity over raw compute density. Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot allow extra NICs or HBAs, but there is no mention of GPU brackets or auxiliary power for accelerators. Buyers needing GPU-accelerated workloads or more than the installed 16 GB of RAM should evaluate alternative systems.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H330 RAID controller. It delivers up to 52 TB of raw SAS or SATA capacity in a 2U form factor with redundant power. If the deployment needs fewer bays, 2.5-inch density or a different RAID feature set, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware do I need to install this 2U server?

The server fits a standard 2U rack space and includes sliding rails for mounting in a 4-post rack cabinet.

Can I keep using my existing 6Gbps SAS drives with the H330 controller in this unit?

Yes, the H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports 6Gbps SAS drives such as the three 600GB 15K drives already installed.

How do I confirm the dual E5-2630 v3 CPUs and 16GB DDR4 are detected correctly after power-on?

Check the iDRAC8 interface or POST screen; both should show two 8-core processors at 2.4GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory.
