Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage in a compact form factor. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 8GB of DDR4 memory. Three 1.2TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide the storage foundation. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays complete the chassis.

Suits storage-heavy workloads needing many bays

This server fits teams that need maximum 2.5-inch drive density for SAS or SATA arrays behind a hardware RAID controller. The 24-bay front panel supports up to 52TB of raw capacity with room to grow. Buyers who need more than one processor installed, larger memory footprints from day one, or 10GbE networking as standard should look at other configurations. The single CPU and 8GB base limit immediate compute throughput.

Single Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core 1.9GHz processor

The installed processor is a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 with six cores at 1.9GHz. The socket count supports a second identical CPU for double the thread count, but only one is fitted. This core count and clock speed set the baseline for virtualisation density and application responsiveness. Memory speed is capped by this processor at 2400MT/s across the 24 DIMM slots.

Questions about this item

How loud is the 2U PowerEdge R730XD with its dual 750W redundant supplies under sustained load?

The server uses two redundant 750W hot-swap power supplies; fan speed scales with inlet temperature and workload, so acoustic output rises when the CPUs and 24 drive bays are fully utilised.

Which rails and cabling must I already have to install this 2U rack server in a standard cabinet?

You need compatible 2U sliding rails for a 26.8-inch deep chassis, plus SAS cables or backplane connections for up to 24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug drives and network patch leads for the four 1GbE ports.

Can the Perc H330 controller manage my existing 6Gbps SAS drives alongside the three installed 1.2TB disks?

Yes, the H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports SAS and SATA drives at 6Gbps and 12Gbps, allowing mixed arrays with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 across all 24 bays.
