Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD packs twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U rack form factor. A single Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory provide the compute base. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 complete the core configuration.

Suits capacity-first workloads

This chassis fits organisations that need maximum 3.5-inch drive density in minimal rack height for bulk storage, backup targets or software-defined storage nodes. The single-socket layout and 8 GB base memory limit virtualisation density, so hosts running many concurrent VMs or memory-intensive databases should look at a dual-processor configuration with more DIMMs populated.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays decide fit

The twelve-bay backplane is the single specification that determines whether this server matches the deployment. If the workload requires more than twelve large-form-factor drives, or needs 2.5-inch bay density instead, a different chassis is required.

Questions about this item

How does the single 1.9 GHz Xeon perform in a live workload?

The installed E5-2609 v3 has six cores at 1.9 GHz, delivering baseline throughput for entry-level tasks; a second processor can be added to the second socket for heavier loads.

What throughput limit does the H330 12Gbps RAID controller impose on the drive array?

The controller supports SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gbps per lane and handles RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60, so the practical ceiling is the combined speed of the drives you populate across the 12 bays.

Which rails or brackets are required to mount the 2U chassis in a standard rack?

The unit occupies 2U of height and measures 26.8″ deep by 17.44″ wide; a compatible rail kit is not included, so you must source rails that match those dimensions and the rack’s mounting standard.
