High-density 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rackmount system built around twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. It ships with dual ten-core Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives on an H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Suited for cold-storage and archive workloads

This configuration fits teams that need maximum 3.5-inch capacity in a 2U footprint with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who require more than 16 GB of installed memory, additional drive bays beyond twelve, or a different drive interface should evaluate other systems.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with H330 RAID

The chassis supports up to twelve SATA or SAS drives and the integrated H330 controller manages RAID levels up to 60. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the server matches your storage density and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5-inch drives and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into one of the 12 hot-plug bays until the carrier locks; the step people miss is creating the virtual disk in the H330 controller BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

What maintenance or replacement will the 750W redundant power supplies need later?

Each 750W unit is hot-swap; if a supply fails, pull the bad module and insert a replacement while the server stays running on the second supply.

What limit appears first when the dual E5-2650v3 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The installed 16GB DDR4 across 24 slots fills quickly; memory capacity becomes the bottleneck before the 10-core processors reach thermal limits.
