Purpose-built storage density

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for environments that prioritise internal drive capacity over expansion slots. A single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 64GB of DDR4 memory provide a balanced compute base for file serving, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters.

Controller and drives ready for RAID

The integrated H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, letting the three included 900GB 10K SAS drives be configured for performance or redundancy immediately. Twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA media, so capacity can grow without downtime or additional controller cards.

Redundant power and remote management

Dual 750W hot-swap power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure or routine maintenance. The iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller enables out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and virtual console access from any networked workstation. Four onboard 1GbE ports and up to six PCIe 3.0 slots handle standard networking and optional 10GbE daughter cards.

Questions about this item

What memory maintenance is possible with the 24 DDR4 DIMM slots and 64 GB installed?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 1,536 GB total; 64 GB is already installed so future maintenance would involve adding or replacing DDR4 modules up to the 1,536 GB limit.

Which component reaches its limit first under sustained load — the single E5-2609 v3 CPU or the H330 RAID controller?

The single six-core E5-2609 v3 at 1.9 GHz will saturate before the H330 controller, which supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across up to 24 drives.

How much heat and power should I expect from the dual 750 W redundant supplies running all day?

Two hot-swap 750 W redundant power supplies share the load; typical draw depends on the single CPU, 64 GB DDR4, three 900 GB 10 K SAS drives and up to six PCIe 3.0 cards installed.
