2U rack server for dense storage

The PowerEdge R730XD fits 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays into a 2U chassis. A single Xeon E5-2630 v3 with eight cores at 2.4 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 handles virtualization or database workloads. Three 900 GB 10K SAS drives ship installed on the H330 RAID controller. Buyers who need more than one processor or a GPU farm should look elsewhere.

SAS RAID limits and expansion headroom

The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA drives. Up to 52 TB of raw capacity can be addressed in the 24-bay backplane. PCIe 3.0 slots provide six lanes for additional NICs or HBAs. The board maxes at 64 GB with one CPU; a second processor unlocks the full 1536 GB ceiling.

Redundant power and remote management built in

Dual 750 W hot-swap supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller gives out-of-band access for firmware updates and console redirection. Four 1 GbE ports come standard on the daughter card; 10 GbE options are available. The DVD-ROM and sliding rails complete the rack-ready package.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2630 v3 or add a second processor?

The server supports up to two processors; a second E5-2630 v3 doubles cores to 16 physical and 32 threads for heavier workloads.

What does the 2.4 GHz clock speed deliver in daily use?

The 2.4 GHz base frequency across eight cores gives steady throughput for virtualization, databases and general-purpose server tasks.

How does the H330 12 Gbps controller limit drive performance?

The H330 caps each SAS drive at 6 Gbps, so the installed 900 GB 10K drives run at their native link speed without bottleneck.
