DELL PowerEdge R730XD rack server 2U E5-2630 v3 2.4GHz 16GB DDR4 3x 1.2TB SAS H730

Dense storage server for archive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug drives in a 2U rack form, giving up to 52TB of raw SAS or SATA capacity. A single Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor at 2.4GHz and 16GB of DDR4 handle file-serving, backup targets or cold-data tiers. Dual 750W redundant supplies keep the chassis running during a module swap.

Front-access bays and dedicated RAID card

Twenty-four tool-less trays let you replace drives without pulling the server from the rack. The Perc H730 controller with 1GB cache sits in a dedicated slot, leaving six PCIe 3.0 slots free for network or HBA upgrades. Four onboard 1GbE ports handle management and data traffic; optional 10GbE daughter cards are supported.

Verify rack depth and memory growth path

The chassis measures 26.8 inches deep, so confirm your cabinet clearance before ordering. Only one CPU is installed, so the second socket and its twelve DIMM slots are available for later expansion up to the platform maximum. No operating system is included; plan your hypervisor or OS deployment separately.
