2U rack server with 24 drive bays

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R730XD arrives new with dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each providing ten cores at 2.3 GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory are installed across 24 DIMM slots, and three 300 GB 15K SAS drives occupy the front bays. A PERC H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the SAS backplane.

High-density storage in a compact chassis

The 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays suit teams that need many spindles for databases, backup targets or virtualisation storage pools. Redundant 750 W supplies and iDRAC8 remote management keep the platform running without physical access. Organisations that require larger memory footprints, GPU acceleration or 10 GbE networking from day one should evaluate other configurations.

PERC H330 RAID controller with SAS backplane

The installed H330 card delivers 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID levels up to RAID 60 across all 24 bays. This controller choice fixes the storage protocol to SAS or SATA and defines the maximum array geometry for the system.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 300 GB 15 K SAS drives or add larger SATA drives for capacity?

The three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives give fast 6 Gbps performance for active workloads; the 24-bay chassis also accepts larger SATA drives up to the 52 TB raw limit if you need more space.

What does the 2.3 GHz figure mean when the server is running a typical virtualization load?

Each of the two ten-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 CPUs runs at 2.3 GHz base clock, providing 40 logical threads with hyper-threading for dense VM consolidation.

How does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller affect the 6 Gbps SAS drives installed?

The H330 supports 12 Gbps SAS/SATA, but the fitted 15 K drives operate at 6 Gbps, so the controller will run them at their native 6 Gbps link speed.
