  • 24 hot-plug 2.5" bays give massive local storage capacity
  • Dual 750W redundant power supplies keep the server running through a failure
  • H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 for flexible data protection
  • Single Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core 1.9GHz CPU delivers baseline compute performance
  • 48GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots allows memory expansion up to 1536GB

Dense 2U storage platform

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays into a two-rack-unit chassis, giving a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory direct access to a Perc H330 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. It targets teams who need high drive-count density for archival, backup or software-defined storage workloads.

H330 controller with dual 750 W supplies

The included Perc H330 handles twelve-gigabit-per-second SAS and SATA drives across all twenty-four bays while two redundant 750 W power supplies keep the array running during a module failure. No drives or trays ship with the unit, so buyers must source compatible SAS or SATA media and caddies before the server can store data. A DVD-ROM drive is present for legacy media installs.

Rack-ready chassis with iDRAC8 remote management

The 2U form factor mounts in standard four-post racks using an optional rail kit that is not supplied, and the front bezel is also absent. Four onboard one-gigabit Ethernet ports provide baseline connectivity, while a dedicated iDRAC8 Express port enables out-of-band power cycling, console redirection and hardware inventory without an operating system. Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot remain free for additional networking or acceleration cards.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum memory capacity and how many DIMM slots are available for future upgrades?

The server supports up to 1536GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots, with 12 slots per processor. Currently 48GB is installed, leaving room for expansion using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB modules up to 2400MT/s.

Which component reaches its limit first during sustained heavy workloads — the CPU, memory bandwidth or storage controller?

The single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz will typically saturate before the H330 RAID controller or DDR4 memory subsystem, especially in multi-threaded tasks that exceed its six physical cores.

How much heat and noise should I expect from the dual 750W redundant power supplies running continuously in a 2U rack?

Two 750W redundant power supplies and the 2U chassis fans are designed for continuous operation; the system draws up to 750W per supply under full load, generating significant heat that requires proper rack airflow and produces noticeable fan noise in quiet environments.
