2U rack server with 24 hot-plug bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits 24 x 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives in a 2U form factor. It ships with a single Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The Perc H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies are included.

Sustained load behaviour

The H730 controller maintains 12 Gbps throughput to the drive backplane while the 15 K SAS spindles deliver consistent IOPS under write-heavy RAID 5 or RAID 6 workloads. Dual 750 W supplies share load evenly, so a single unit failure does not throttle CPU or disk performance. iDRAC8 provides out-of-band thermal monitoring and power capping without host OS involvement.

Pre-order checklist

Verify your rack depth can accommodate 26.8 inches of chassis length and that 2U vertical space is available. Confirm the facility can supply two independent PDU feeds for the redundant 750 W units. Ensure the operating system you plan to install includes drivers for the C610 chipset and H730 controller. Check that any additional CPUs or memory modules match the installed Xeon generation and DDR4 2400 MT/s specification.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 2U rack server with dual 750W redundant supplies generate when running all day?

The server uses two 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies. Actual heat output and power draw depend on workload, processor load and how many of the 24 drive bays are populated.

What else must I already own for the R730XD with a single E5-2630v3 and 64GB DDR4 to operate?

You need an operating system, a rack with rails, a network switch for the four 1GbE ports and SAS or SATA drives to fill any of the 24 hot-plug bays.

Will the 12Gbps H730 RAID controller and 6Gbps SAS drives work with older 3Gbps SAS or SATA disks I may keep?

The H730 controller supports SAS and SATA drives. The installed 300GB 15K drives run at 6Gbps; older 3Gbps disks will operate at their native speed when added to the 24-bay backplane.
