Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits two Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processors at 2.3 GHz, 32 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, and three 1 TB 2.5-inch SATA drives behind an H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap supplies and up to 24 drive bays make it a compact platform for capacity-hungry workloads.

Fits cold-storage and archive roles

Buyers who need room for many spinning disks and hardware RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 will use the 24-bay chassis and redundant power. Teams that require more than 32 GB RAM, more than six PCIe 3.0 slots, or faster-than-SATA media should look at a different platform.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis limit

The server accepts up to twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and maxes out at 52 TB raw capacity; that physical bay count is the single constraint that decides whether the R730XD matches your storage density target.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730XD get with two E5-2650 v3 CPUs and dual 750 W supplies running continuously?

Dual 750 W redundant supplies share the load, and the 2U chassis uses multiple high-speed fans; expect noticeable airflow noise and warm exhaust under full CPU utilisation.

Which rails, cables or operating system must I already have to install this 2U server in a standard rack?

The unit includes hot-plug drive trays and a DVD ROM; you must supply rack rails, power cords and an OS because none are included.

Can I keep my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives and plug them into the H330 controller alongside the three 1 TB SATA drives?

Yes, the H330 supports both SAS and SATA at 12 Gbps, so 6 Gbps SAS drives will negotiate down and work in the same 24-bay backplane.
