Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system built around dual Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and a Perc H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives up to a combined 52 TB. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the chassis.

Suits archive workloads, not GPU compute

This platform fits teams needing high drive density and hardware RAID in a compact 2U form factor for backup, archiving or near-line storage. The Matrox G200 video and four 1 GbE ports cover basic management and console access. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, 10 GbE networking, more than 16 GB of memory as shipped, or an operating system pre-installed should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays define capacity

The single specification that determines fit is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays backed by the H730 controller. They set the raw storage ceiling at 52 TB and dictate the SAS or SATA drive choice. If the workload needs fewer bays, 2.5-inch media or a different RAID level, another chassis will match better.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 DIMMs do I need to populate the 24 memory slots?

The server accepts DDR4 modules at 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB per DIMM up to 2400MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed Xeon E5-2630v3 processors.

Can I keep my existing 3.5" SAS or SATA drives and use the 12 hot-plug bays?

Yes, the 12 front bays support 3.5" hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and the H730 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across them.

How do I verify the iDRAC8 remote management is working after racking the server?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, power on the system, and confirm you can reach the iDRAC8 web interface at its IP address; the Lifecycle Controller should also report hardware inventory without errors.
