Dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD packs up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack form factor. A single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory handle compute duties. Two 750 W redundant power supplies and a PERC H330 RAID controller with 12 Gbps SAS connectivity complete the baseline configuration.

Storage-focused workloads

This chassis suits environments that need many local spindles — backup targets, archive repositories or software-defined storage nodes — because the 24-bay density and SAS/SATA support let capacity scale to 52 TB. Buyers who need high core counts, large memory footprints or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere; the single six-core CPU and 16 GB installed memory leave little headroom for compute-heavy tasks.

24-bay 2.5-inch capacity

The defining spec is the ability to populate 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives behind a single RAID controller. That bay count determines whether the system can meet a given raw-capacity or IOPS target without adding external enclosures.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and width are needed to fit the 2U chassis?

The server is 26.8 inches deep and 17.44 inches wide; verify your cabinet depth exceeds 26.8 inches and that the rack opening is at least 17.44 inches.

How do I install the 300 GB SAS drives and the H330 controller?

Insert each 2.5-inch drive into a hot-plug bay until it clicks; the H330 RAID controller occupies the dedicated internal slot, not a standard PCIe 3.0 slot.

When should I replace the 750 W redundant power supplies or the DVD drive?

Replace a power supply if the iDRAC8 alerts show a fault or the unit fails self-test; swap the DVD drive if media read errors persist across multiple discs.
