2U rack server with 24 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and three 900 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the configuration.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This server fits environments that need many hot-plug 2.5-inch bays in a 2U form factor, such as local backup targets, surveillance archives or software-defined storage nodes. The single-socket configuration and 16 GB base memory limit virtualisation density, so buyers who need two processors or a larger starting memory footprint should consider a different chassis.

24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS/SATA bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch backplane that accepts SAS and SATA drives behind an H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52 TB with the installed controller, and the chassis provides up to six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot for expansion.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the H730 RAID controller recognises the three 900 GB SAS drives after first boot?

Enter the H730 BIOS utility during POST and confirm all three 900 GB 10K SAS drives appear as ready for RAID configuration.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis includes one E5-2650v3 processor, 16 GB DDR4, three 900 GB SAS drives with trays, H730 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD drive; an operating system and any additional drives or memory are not included.

Should I select a single-processor or dual-processor configuration for this R730XD?

The unit ships with one E5-2650v3 installed and supports a second processor; choose dual-processor if you need up to 1536 GB total memory across all 24 DIMM slots.
