DELL PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

The DELL PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor at 2.4GHz and 8GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and includes a DVD ROM drive. Dual 750W redundant power supplies provide fault-tolerant power delivery.

Suits storage-focused deployments.

This configuration fits environments that prioritise raw capacity and RAID flexibility over large memory footprints. The installed 8GB of RAM and single processor limit virtualisation density and in-memory database performance. Buyers who need more than 8GB of memory or dual-processor throughput should look at a different configuration. The six PCIe 3.0 slots and 1GbE networking support standard expansion needs.

H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache

The Dell PERC H730 controller delivers 12Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Its 1GB cache accelerates write-heavy workloads across the three included 4TB 7.2K SAS drives. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52TB when all twelve bays are populated. This controller choice determines the RAID levels and drive types available for the array.

Questions about this item

Do I need to populate all 24 DDR4 slots for the server to boot with the installed E5-2630v3 processor?

No, the system ships with 8GB in a supported configuration; the 24 slots allow expansion up to 1536GB using DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s.

Can I keep my existing 6Gbps SAS drives and add them to the 12 hot-plug bays alongside the three 4TB drives?

Yes, the backplane accepts SAS and SATA drives; the H730 controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across mixed capacities.

How do I confirm the H730 RAID controller sees all three 4TB drives and the array is healthy after first power-on?

Open the controller BIOS during POST or log into iDRAC8; both will show each physical drive, the virtual disk state and any rebuild activity.
