Rack Server with 24 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 1.2 TB SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller are installed, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays.

Suits Storage-Dense Workloads, Not Multi-CPU Builds

This configuration fits teams that need high drive-count capacity in a compact rack footprint with redundant 750 W power supplies. Buyers who require a second processor from the start, more than 16 GB of memory out of the box, or solid-state drives as standard should look elsewhere.

Single Xeon E5-2609 v3 Processor Installed

The server ships with one six-core CPU and supports a maximum of two processors. Adding a second compatible Xeon unlocks the remaining twelve DIMM slots and the full 1536 GB memory ceiling. The installed H330 controller manages SAS and SATA drives through the 24 front bays.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2609 v3 or add a second processor?

The system ships with one 6-core E5-2609 v3 at 1.9GHz and supports a second identical CPU; add the second processor only if your workloads need more than six cores.

What does the 16GB DDR4 figure mean once the server is running?

16GB is the installed capacity across 24 DDR4 slots; the board accepts up to 1536GB total, but actual memory speed depends on the installed processor.

How does the H330 controller limit the 1.2TB SAS drives in practice?

The H330 is a 12Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60; the three 1.2TB 7.2K SAS drives will run at 6Gbps each, capped by the drive interface.
