Purpose-built dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for workloads that need many drive bays in a compact chassis. It ships with a single ten-core Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor running at 2.3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory.

Suited for archive and backup targets.

This configuration fits organisations that prioritise raw capacity and hot-plug convenience over maximum CPU throughput. Buyers who need more than one processor, larger memory footprints or faster storage media should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The chassis supports up to twelve SAS or SATA drives managed by a 12 Gbps PERC H330 card offering RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. This drive-count and controller combination is the decisive factor for deployment planning.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The server ships with one Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor, 8 GB DDR4, three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives in trays, the H330 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, a DVD drive and four 1 GbE ports. A second processor, additional memory modules, extra drives and an operating system are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this server?

The board has 24 DDR4 slots supporting 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB modules up to 2 400 MT/s. Installed memory is 8 GB; maximum supported is 1 536 GB. Pick module sizes that match your workload and leave room for future expansion.

What does the 10-core 2.3 GHz CPU mean for real-world performance?

The single Xeon E5-2650 v3 delivers 10 physical cores and 20 threads via hyper-threading at 2.3 GHz. Expect strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation, databases and compute tasks; adding a second processor doubles core count and memory bandwidth.
