24-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack-mount server designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. Three 900GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller are included. Dual 750W redundant power supplies provide resiliency.

Suited for capacity-first deployments

This configuration fits environments that need many hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U form factor, such as backup targets, archiving, or software-defined storage nodes. The installed memory is fixed at 16GB and the maximum supported capacity listed is 16GB, so workloads requiring larger RAM footprints should consider a different system. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays or a second processor from day one should look elsewhere.

24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays

The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, delivering a maximum raw capacity of 52TB with the installed controller. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 are available on the H330. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the server can meet the storage density and redundancy requirements of the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Should I select the single E5-2609 v3 or add a second processor for this R730XD?

The system board supports up to two processors; the unit ships with one E5-2609 v3 six-core 1.9 GHz CPU and a second socket is available for expansion.

What does the 16 GB DDR4 installed memory mean for actual workloads?

16 GB DDR4 is populated across the 24 DIMM slots; the platform can scale to 1536 GB total using 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s, limited by the CPU memory controller.

How does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller limit the three 900 GB 10K SAS drives?

The H330 provides 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60; the installed 6 Gbps 10K drives will run at their native 6 Gbps link speed within the controller’s capability.
