Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rackmount server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and three 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays support high-density storage workloads.

Suited For Storage-Focused Deployments

This configuration suits buyers who need a dense 12-bay SAS platform with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and room to grow to 52 TB raw capacity. The single CPU limits multi-threaded throughput, so environments requiring dual-socket performance or more than 8 GB of memory from day one should evaluate other options.

12 Hot-Plug 3.5-Inch SAS Drive Bays

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays for SAS or SATA drives, giving immediate space for the three installed 4 TB drives and nine additional spindles. This bay count is the decisive factor for buyers planning large-capacity RAID arrays in a 2U form factor.

Questions about this item

How often will the SAS drives and the H730 RAID controller battery need replacement?

The three 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives are mechanical; plan to replace any that develop errors. The H730 controller uses a 1 GB cache module with a backup battery that typically lasts several years before requiring a swap.

Which limit appears first when the single Xeon E5-2650 v3 runs at full load continuously?

With only one 10-core 2.3 GHz processor installed, CPU throughput caps well before the 1536 GB memory ceiling or the 12-bay storage limit are reached.

What noise and heat levels should I expect from the dual 750 W power supplies during 24/7 operation?

Redundant 750 W supplies and active cooling in a 2U chassis produce datacentre-grade fan noise and exhaust heat; the system is designed for rack rooms rather than office desks.
