Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for storage density. It fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and ships with three 2 TB SAS drives running at 7.2K rpm. A single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory handle compute tasks. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the platform running.

Suits dense storage workloads, not heavy compute

This server suits teams that need many drive bays in a 2U form factor for backup, archive or software-defined storage. The single six-core CPU at 1.9 GHz limits virtualisation density and single-thread speed. Buyers who want more processors, higher core counts or faster clock rates should look at something else.

12 x 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA bays

The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives with a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. The included PERC H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and interface mix is the specification that decides whether the R730XD fits the storage plan.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the dual 750 W redundant supplies running 24/7?

Two 750 W hot-swap units share the load; each draws only what the components need, so typical idle draw stays well below the rated maximum while full redundancy is maintained.

Which rails, cabling or operating system must I supply before the server will boot?

The chassis includes drive trays and a DVD drive; you only need to add rack rails, power cords and an OS licence — no proprietary cables are required.

Will my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives work in the 12 Gbps H330 backplane alongside the three installed 2 TB disks?

Yes — the backplane and H330 controller auto-negotiate to 6 Gbps for legacy drives, so older SAS or SATA disks mix freely with the factory 7.2 K 2 TB units.
