Dense 2U storage server

The PowerEdge R730XD packs twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U rack chassis, driven by a single eight-core Xeon E5-2630 v3 at 2.4 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory. A Perc H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across three installed 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives. Dual 750 W redundant supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Buyers needing maximum internal capacity

This configuration suits workloads that prioritise raw drive count over raw compute, such as backup targets, surveillance archives or software-defined storage nodes. The single-socket layout and 48 GB memory ceiling limit virtualisation density, so hosts running many concurrent VMs or memory-heavy databases should evaluate larger memory footprints or dual-processor builds.

Single-socket Xeon with 48 GB DDR4 ceiling

Only one processor is installed and the board tops out at 48 GB with that CPU, so the memory capacity is fixed unless a second Xeon and additional DIMMs are added. Twelve 3.5-inch bays and the H730 controller support up to 52 TB of SATA or SAS storage, but the CPU and memory headroom decide whether the server can service the I/O those drives can deliver.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 DIMM slots are free for future memory upgrades on the R730XD?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots total; 48 GB is already installed, so the remaining slots depend on the current module population.

Which drive bay limit is reached first when the twelve 3.5-inch bays are fully populated?

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays are available; the raw capacity ceiling is 52 TB with the H730 controller.

How loud and hot does the R730XD run with both 750 W power supplies active all day?

Dual 750 W redundant supplies share the load; fan speed ramps with CPU and drive thermal sensors, so acoustics and heat rise under sustained workloads.
