Built for dense storage workloads

The 2U Dell PowerEdge R730XD packs twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays behind a redundant 750W power supply pair. Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors deliver sixteen cores at 2.4 GHz with thirty-two threads for multi-threaded throughput.

Memory ceiling matches the installed 128 GB

Twenty-four DDR4 slots sit empty beyond the factory configuration because the processor generation caps addressable memory at 128 GB. The H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA drives up to 52 TB raw capacity.

Fits standard racks and leaves PCIe room

Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot remain open for networking or acceleration cards. Four onboard 1 GbE ports handle baseline connectivity while iDRAC8 provides remote console and lifecycle control without extra hardware.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 DIMM slots still accept my existing DDR4 modules if I move them into this R730XD?

Yes. The server has 24 DDR4 slots supporting 4GB to 128GB modules up to 2400MT/s; installed memory runs at the speed allowed by the E5-2630 v3 processors.

How can I confirm the H330 controller and both 750W power supplies are operating correctly after installation?

Check iDRAC8 for controller firmware version, RAID array status and dual power-supply health LEDs; the front LCD also shows green when both supplies report OK.

Which items ship inside the box and which must be purchased separately?

The chassis includes 2 CPUs, 128GB DDR4, H330 RAID card, DVD drive, 2 power supplies, power cable and rail kit; drive trays and hard drives are not included.
