2U rack server with 24 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server fitted with dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processors at 2.3GHz. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 900GB 10K 2.5-inch SAS drives. A Perc H330 RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 and the chassis includes dual 750W redundant power supplies.

Suited for dense storage workloads.

This configuration suits environments that need many hot-plug drive bays in a 2U form factor, such as backup targets, software-defined storage nodes or archive repositories. The installed 64GB memory matches the listed maximum capacity, so buyers who need more RAM must choose a different platform. The H330 controller does not support JBOD pass-through, so workloads requiring direct disk access should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis decides density

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis, which sets the physical storage ceiling at 52TB using SAS or SATA drives. If the deployment needs fewer bays but higher per-drive capacity, a 3.5-inch platform would be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 DIMM slots accept the DDR4 modules I already own?

The server has 24 DIMM slots (12 per processor) that support DDR4 modules at 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB capacities up to 2400 MT/s, with actual speed depending on the installed Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors.

How can I verify the H330 RAID controller is managing the three 900 GB 10K SAS drives correctly?

After power-on, enter the H330 configuration utility (Ctrl+R) to confirm the three 900 GB 10K SAS drives are detected, assigned to a virtual disk, and show an optimal RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 status.

Which items ship with the server and which must be purchased separately?

The unit includes two Xeon E5-2650 v3 CPUs, 64 GB DDR4, three 900 GB 10K SAS drives with trays, H330 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, DVD-ROM drive, iDRAC8 Express and four 1 GbE ports; operating system, additional drives, memory modules, PCIe cards and 10 GbE networking daughter cards are not included.
