Dense 2U storage server for data-heavy workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack system built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 hardware RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits teams needing maximum drive density in 2U.

Buyers who want the highest number of spindles or SSDs per rack unit will benefit from the 24-bay layout and hardware RAID. Organisations requiring multiple GPUs or a second CPU from day one should look at a different platform.

24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays define capacity ceiling

The chassis accepts up to 24 SAS or SATA drives, with a listed maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported by the H730 controller, so the usable space depends entirely on the chosen RAID level and drive count.

Questions about this item

What does the single 10-core 2.3 GHz Xeon E5-2650 v3 deliver in a live server?

One processor with 10 physical cores running at 2.3 GHz provides 20 logical threads when hyper-threading is enabled, giving a solid baseline for virtualisation or database workloads in a 2U chassis.

How does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller limit drive throughput?

The H730 controller operates at 12 Gbps SAS/SATA, so the three installed 6 Gbps SATA drives run at their native 6 Gbps link speed while the backplane can accept faster SAS drives later.

What rail depth and bay count must the rack provide for this 2U unit?

The server needs a standard 2U rack space and a cabinet deep enough for its 26.8-inch length, with the front 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane accessible for drive servicing.
