Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system with 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays, dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors providing 40 threads at 2.3 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform. It ships without an operating system.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits organisations that need dense SAS or SATA storage in a 2U form factor, with hardware RAID and IPMI-based out-of-band management. It is not suited for buyers who need more than 24 drive bays, more than two processor sockets, or memory capacity beyond the 64 GB installed and the 1 536 GB maximum supported by the 24 DIMM slots.

The spec that decides fit

The 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug chassis combined with the H330 controller and three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives determines whether the storage density and performance envelope match the workload.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The server ships with dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, 64 GB DDR4, three 300 GB 15K SAS drives in trays, the H330 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, a DVD drive, iDRAC8 Express and a four-port 1 GbE daughter card. An operating system is not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this R730XD?

All 24 DIMM slots are free for expansion up to 1 536 GB using 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB DDR4 modules at 2 400 MT/s; populate evenly across the two processors for best bandwidth.

What does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller deliver in daily use?

It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the 24 hot-plug 2.5" bays, providing hardware parity and striping for the three installed 300 GB SAS drives and any future SAS or SATA additions.
