PowerEdge R730XD 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rackmount 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 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H330 RAID controller with 12 Gbps SAS connectivity.

Suits virtualisation and storage clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualisation hosts, software-defined storage or backup targets that benefit from high drive-count density and redundant 750 W power supplies. The single-socket layout and 64 GB memory ceiling limit guests or datasets that need more than 1536 GB of RAM or dual-processor performance. Buyers who need a second CPU installed, 10 GbE networking included or more than 64 GB of memory out of the box should evaluate other options.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane that accepts SAS or SATA drives and connects to the H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. With three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives installed and a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB, the chassis determines whether the platform fits the intended storage footprint.

Questions about this item

Does the server need a second Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor installed to reach the full 24 DIMM slots?

The system board provides 24 DIMM slots split evenly across two processor sockets. With only one CPU installed, 12 slots remain accessible; adding the second processor unlocks the remaining 12 slots and raises the maximum memory capacity to 1536 GB.

Can the existing 300 GB 15K SAS drives share the backplane with larger SATA drives I already own?

Yes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane accepts both SAS and SATA drives simultaneously. The H330 controller manages mixed drive types and presents them to the RAID arrays you configure.

How do I confirm the H330 controller sees all three 300 GB drives at 6 Gbps after first boot?

During POST press the key shown for the H330 configuration utility (typically Ctrl+R). The utility lists each physical drive, its negotiated link speed and its RAID membership, letting you verify all three drives are detected at 6 Gbps.
