Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives on an H330 RAID controller. It supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 and offers up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays for high-density storage. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard. The platform is suited for storage-heavy workloads such as backup, archiving or software-defined storage clusters.

Ideal for storage-dense deployments

Organisations that need many drive slots in a compact 2U form factor will benefit from the 24-bay design and hardware RAID flexibility. Buyers who require fewer drive bays or a smaller chassis should evaluate other platforms. The installed memory is fixed at 32 GB and the specifications list a maximum of 32 GB, so workloads needing more RAM cannot be accommodated on this unit. No operating system is included.

24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays

The single specification that determines fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug capacity combined with the H330 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. If the application demands that many simultaneous drives with hardware RAID, this server matches the requirement; if fewer bays are needed, a different chassis would be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the installed 32GB DDR4 and the 1536GB maximum capacity?

The server ships with 32GB across 24 DIMM slots. You can populate the remaining slots with 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s, limited by the Xeon E5-2630v3 memory controller.

What does the 2.4GHz E5-2630v3 actually deliver in this chassis?

Two eight-core Xeon E5-2630v3 CPUs run at 2.4GHz base frequency, giving 16 physical cores and 32 threads with hyper-threading enabled for parallel workloads.

How does the H330 12Gbps RAID controller limit the 24-bay SATA/SAS backplane?

The H330 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 over a 12Gbps SAS link, so each 6Gbps SATA drive operates at its native speed while the controller handles parity and striping across up to 24 bays.
