Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processors running at 2.3GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750W redundant power supplies provide power redundancy.

Storage-focused teams and virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits organisations that need high drive-count capacity in a 2U form factor for databases, backup targets or software-defined storage. The included H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the three installed 900GB 10K SAS drives. Buyers who require more than 16GB of memory out of the box, integrated 10GbE networking or a pre-installed operating system should consider other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane that accepts SAS and SATA drives. With a maximum raw capacity of 52TB, the chassis determines how much local storage the server can hold. The H330 RAID controller and three 900GB 10K SAS drives are pre-installed, but the bay count is the constraint that decides whether this platform fits the deployment.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W redundant supplies draw when the R730XD runs continuously?

The server includes two 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies; actual draw depends on workload but each unit is rated at 750W maximum.

Which rails or cabinet depth do I need to mount this 2U chassis?

The R730XD is a 2U rack server measuring 26.8 inches deep and 17.44 inches wide; standard square-hole rails for that depth will secure it.

Can the H330 controller manage the existing 900GB SAS drives together with older SATA disks I might add?

Yes, the H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports both SAS and SATA drives in the 24 hot-plug bays and handles RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across mixed sets.
