2U Rack Server with 12 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rackmount server system built for dense storage workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor delivering ten cores at 2.3 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives for high-capacity arrays.

SAS 6 Gbps Drives on 12 Gbps Controller

Three installed 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives operate at 6 Gbps while the PERC H330 controller provides 12 Gbps SAS connectivity. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 are supported across a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. Drive performance is limited by the 6 Gbps interface of the supplied disks rather than the controller ceiling.

Single Processor Limits Memory to 64 GB

The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots but the installed CPU caps usable memory at 64 GB. Adding a second processor would be required to reach the platform maximum of 1536 GB. Buyers who need more memory capacity must plan for a second CPU purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3 GHz configuration or add a second processor?

The server ships with one E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3 GHz CPU and supports a second processor; adding it doubles cores to 20 physical and 20 virtual threads while unlocking the full 1536 GB memory ceiling across all 24 DIMM slots.

What does the 64 GB DDR4 at 2400 MT/s deliver in daily workloads?

You receive 64 GB of DDR4 memory running at speeds up to 2400 MT/s, sufficient for virtualisation hosts, databases and file services; the installed DIMMs leave room to scale toward the 1536 GB maximum when a second CPU is fitted.

How does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller with SAS 6 Gbps drives cap real throughput?

The H330 controller provides 12 Gbps SAS lanes, but the three supplied 7.2K 2 TB drives operate at 6 Gbps, so sustained read/write is limited by the mechanical disks rather than the controller bandwidth.
