Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for capacity-focused workloads. It fits twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays into a short-depth chassis. A single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory are installed. Two 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the base configuration.

H730 RAID controller with twelve-gigabit SAS

The storage subsystem centres on a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and a 12 Gbps SAS interface. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the twenty-four bays, allowing up to 52 TB of raw hard-drive capacity. No drives or drive trays are included, so the buyer must supply SAS or SATA media.

Four 1 GbE ports and six PCIe 3.0 slots

Networking starts with a daughter card providing four 1 GbE ports; optional 10 GbE NDCs are supported but not installed. Up to six PCIe 3.0 expansion slots plus a dedicated RAID slot remain open for additional controllers or accelerators. Remote management uses iDRAC8 Express with Lifecycle Controller, and a rail kit and power cable ship with the unit.

Questions about this item

How much memory can the E5-2630 v3 actually address in this R730XD?

The installed processor limits total memory to 128GB across the 24 DIMM slots, even though the platform supports up to 1536GB with two CPUs.

What does the H730 controller's 12Gbps SAS interface mean for drive speed?

Each 2.5-inch bay can run at 12Gbps with SAS drives, while SATA drives operate at 6Gbps; the controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all 24 bays.

What rack depth does the included rail kit accommodate?

The rail kit fits standard 4-post racks with adjustable depth; the chassis is 26.8 inches long, so allow at least 30 inches of clear depth for cable management.
