Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays complete the platform.

Ideal for storage-dense workloads and virtualisation

This configuration suits buyers who need high drive-count density in a 2U form factor with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. It is not for buyers who require two processors installed or more than 64 GB of memory from the factory, as the system arrives with one CPU and the memory ceiling with a single processor is 64 GB.

Single-processor memory ceiling of 64 GB

The installed CPU limits total addressable memory to 64 GB across the 24 DIMM slots, so the server cannot accept additional RAM unless a second processor is added. This constraint decides whether the chassis can grow with your workload or must be replaced.

Questions about this item

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

The board supports up to two Xeon CPUs; a second E5-2630 v3 doubles cores to 16 and unlocks the remaining 12 DIMM slots for memory beyond 64GB.

What does the 2.4 GHz clock mean for actual throughput?

Each of the eight cores runs at 2.4 GHz with Hyper-Threading giving 16 threads; real-world speed depends on workload and the DDR4 memory running up to 2400 MT/s.

How does the 12 Gbps H730 controller limit the 6 Gbps SATA drives?

The H730 supports 12 Gbps SAS and 6 Gbps SATA; the installed 1 TB drives operate at their native 6 Gbps link, so the controller does not reduce their speed.
