Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes three 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives and a Dell Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD ROM drive complete the configuration.

Suited for dense storage workloads

The chassis provides up to 24 hot-plug 2.5 inch bays for SAS or SATA drives, making it a fit for environments that need many spindles in a compact rack space. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller handles remote management out of the box. Buyers who require more than two processors, more than 8 GB of installed memory, or more than three drives included should look elsewhere.

Storage controller decides fit

The H730 controller supports 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and the listed RAID levels, which determines whether the server can meet a given redundancy or performance target. Only the numbers shown in the specifications are guaranteed; any other capability must be verified against the hardware documentation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1.2TB SAS drives into the 24 hot-plug bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a 2.5 inch bay until the latch clicks, then use the H730 controller BIOS or iDRAC8 to create a virtual disk before the OS sees the array.

Which components will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The 7.2K SAS drives and the two 750W redundant power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; fans and the iDRAC8 battery follow typical server lifecycles.

What limit appears first when the E5-2650 v3 runs sustained workloads?

The single 10-core 2.3GHz processor and 8GB DDR4 ceiling restrict compute and memory throughput before the 24-bay chassis or H730 12Gbps controller saturate.
