Capacity and form factor

This is a 2U rack server that holds up to 24 x 2.5" hot-plug SAS or SATA drives. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core 1.9GHz processor and 48GB DDR4 memory installed. The PERC H730 controller provides RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and 12Gbps throughput.

Who this suits

IT teams that need dense 2.5" drive capacity in a 2U chassis and hardware RAID with redundant 750W power will find the configuration ready for storage-heavy workloads. Buyers who need 10 GbE networking as standard, or a smaller footprint should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The 24-bay 2.5" hot-plug backplane is the single spec that decides fit; if the deployment requires fewer bays, 3.5" drives, or no hardware RAID card, this chassis is overspecified.

Questions about this item

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

The system ships with one six-core 1.9 GHz Xeon and supports up to two; adding the second CPU unlocks the other 12 DIMM slots and doubles PCIe lane count.

What does 48 GB DDR4 actually deliver in this chassis?

Six 8 GB modules populate half the slots on the first processor, giving 48 GB at speeds up to 2400 MT/s limited by the E5-2609v3 memory controller.

How does the H730 12 Gbps controller limit drive performance?

The H730 caps each SAS or SATA bay at 12 Gbps, so 24 x 2.5 inch drives share that bandwidth through the single RAID card.
