2U Rack Server with 24 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache are included. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resiliency.

Suits high-capacity storage; not for GPU compute

This configuration suits organisations that need many hot-plug drive bays in a compact chassis for backup, archiving or software-defined storage. The single-socket layout and lack of installed GPUs make it unsuitable for workloads that require parallel graphics acceleration or maximum per-core frequency. Buyers needing more than 16 GB of memory or a second processor must add those components separately.

24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel paired with the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines how many drives you can install and which redundancy schemes are available. The server also includes a DVD-ROM drive, iDRAC8 remote management and up to six PCIe 3.0 expansion slots.

Questions about this item

Will the installed H730 RAID controller and 2.5-inch SATA drives work with my existing 2.5-inch SAS drives?

The H730 controller supports both SAS and SATA drives, and the chassis accepts up to 24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, so your existing SAS drives can be added to the available bays.

How can I verify the single E5-2650 v3 processor and 16GB DDR4 memory are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 Lifecycle Controller or the system BIOS during POST; both will display the detected 10-core 2.3GHz processor and the 16GB DDR4 installed across the 24 DIMM slots.

Which components are included and what must I source separately?

The server ships with one E5-2650 v3 CPU, 16GB DDR4, three 1TB 7.2K SATA drives in trays, H730 1GB RAID controller, two 750W redundant power supplies, DVD drive, and 4 x 1GbE daughter card; operating system, additional CPUs, memory modules, drives, and upgraded iDRAC licences are not included.
