Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 2 TB SAS hard drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller are installed. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resilience.

Suits storage-heavy roles.

This server suits organisations needing up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays in a compact chassis with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who require more than 16 GB of installed memory, more than six PCIe 3.0 expansion slots or 10 GbE networking as standard should evaluate other platforms.

12-bay 3.5-inch chassis with H330 RAID

The defining specification is the 12-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis paired with the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supporting SAS and SATA drives. This combination determines whether the system fits the required storage capacity and redundancy profile.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 DIMM slots need DDR4 modules replaced as they age?

DDR4 modules in the 24 slots have no scheduled replacement interval; swap only if a module fails or capacity must grow beyond 16GB.

What limits sustained throughput of the H330 controller with three 2TB SAS drives?

The H330 12Gbps RAID controller and 6Gbps SAS drives set the sustained throughput ceiling under continuous load.

How loud and hot do the dual 750W redundant supplies run during all-day operation?

Dual 750W redundant supplies share load, keeping fan speed moderate; typical rack noise and exhaust heat are comparable to other 2U servers.
