DELL PowerEdge R730XD rack server 24×2.5″ E5-2609 v3 1.9 GHz 128GB H330

Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U rack server delivers high-density storage in a compact form factor. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays for SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resilience for continuous operation.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

Organisations needing maximum drive count in two rack units will benefit from the twenty-four bay layout and H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The single installed processor leaves the second socket available for future expansion. Buyers who require dual-processor performance out of the box or need more than 128 GB of memory pre-installed should evaluate alternative configurations.

Storage capacity decided by drive bay count

The server accommodates up to twenty-four 2.5-inch drives with a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. Usable space depends entirely on the chosen RAID level across RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. No drives or trays are included, so the buyer must populate bays to match capacity and redundancy targets.
