2U rack server with 24 hot-plug bays

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays and ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz. Forty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 memory are installed across the 24 DIMM slots. The system targets organisations that need dense SAS or SATA storage in a standard rack footprint.

Storage controller and drives included

A Dell PERC H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across three factory-fitted 1.2TB 7.2K SAS drives. The controller occupies a dedicated slot, leaving up to six PCIe 3.0 slots free for additional I/O cards. Redundant 750W hot-swap power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the hardware bundle.

Verify rack depth and CPU upgrade path

Confirm your rack can accommodate the 26.8-inch depth and 60-pound weight before ordering. Only one processor is installed; the second socket is vacant for a matching E5-2650 v3 if more cores are required. Memory runs at up to 2400MT/s depending on the CPU, and the board accepts DDR4 modules up to 128GB per slot. Network daughter card provides four 1GbE ports; 10GbE options are not fitted.

Questions about this item

When do the 1.2 TB SAS drives typically need replacement under heavy workloads?

The three installed 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives are mechanical; expect to replace them after several years of continuous write-intensive use or when SMART alerts appear.

What limits sustained throughput first — the H330 controller or the 6 Gbps SAS links?

Each drive connects at 6 Gbps SAS, so the 6 Gbps link saturates before the H330 12 Gbps controller becomes the bottleneck.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 750 W supplies running 24/7?

Dual 750 W redundant supplies and multiple fans keep the 2U chassis within spec, but fan noise is noticeable in quiet rooms and exhaust air stays warm under constant load.
