DELL PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 16GB DDR4 3x 300GB SAS H730

SKU CH-08W3-X3RRC

2U rack server with dual Xeon E5-2630v3 CPUs, 16GB DDR4, three 300GB 15K SAS drives and a H730 RAID controller

  • ProcessorDual Intel Xeon
  • Installed RAM16 GB
  • Video RAM8 MB
  • Installed SSDNo
  • ChipsetIntel C610
  • Type of memoryDDR4
  • Dual Xeon E5-2630v3 CPUs deliver 32 virtual cores for parallel workloads
  • 16GB DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots supports up to 1536GB total capacity
  • Three 300GB 15K SAS drives provide fast hot-plug storage in 12-bay chassis
  • H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 flexibility
  • Redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management ensure continuous uptime

Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drives into a 2U rack footprint, giving organisations a compact platform for capacity-heavy workloads such as backup repositories, surveillance archives or software-defined storage clusters.

300 GB SAS starter set with 52 TB ceiling

Three factory-supplied 300 GB 15 K SAS drives deliver low-latency spindle performance for metadata or boot duties, while the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all bays; the chassis tops out at 52 TB raw, so databases or media libraries that outgrow that limit will need a larger array or external expansion.

Dual 750 W supplies plus iDRAC8 remote control

Redundant power supplies keep the system running through a single-module failure, and the integrated iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band hardware monitoring, firmware updates and virtual console access without an operating system installed.

Questions about this item

Will the two Xeon E5-2630v3 2.4 GHz CPUs work with my existing DDR4 DIMMs?

The server uses DDR4 memory with 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 2400 MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed processor capability.

How can I verify the H730 RAID controller and 300 GB 15K SAS drives are functioning after installation?

Use the iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller to check controller health, drive status, and RAID array state; the front-panel LCD also reports faults.

Which components ship with the R730XD and what must I purchase separately?

Included: 2U chassis, dual CPUs, 16 GB DDR4, three 300 GB SAS drives in trays, H730 1 GB controller, dual 750 W PSUs, DVD drive, 4×1 GbE daughter card; OS and extra drives or memory are not included.
