Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits twenty-four 2.5 inch hot-plug drives in a 2U rack chassis. A single Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory handle database or virtualisation workloads that demand local capacity over raw compute density.

Sustained throughput

The Perc H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives, delivering consistent read and write bandwidth during long backup windows or replication jobs. Redundant 750 W power supplies keep the array online if one unit fails.

Serviceable chassis

Tool-less drive carriers and a DVD-ROM bay sit behind a bezel that lifts without screws, while the iDRAC8 remote-management module provides out-of-band console access for firmware updates or power cycling from another site. Six PCIe 3.0 slots and a dedicated RAID slot leave room for additional network or storage cards.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat should I expect from the 2x 750W redundant power supplies running 24/7?

The system uses two 750W hot-swap power supplies with redundant operation; fan speed scales with load and inlet temperature, so acoustic output rises under heavy CPU or drive activity.

What rack-mount hardware must I already have to install this 2U chassis?

The unit is a 2U rack server; you need a standard four-post rack and a Dell sliding-rail kit or compatible third-party rails to secure the 26.8-inch deep chassis.

Can the H730 RAID controller manage the existing 7.2K SATA drives together with older SAS drives I might add later?

The H730 12Gbps controller supports mixed SAS and SATA drives across the 24 hot-plug bays and can span RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 arrays over both drive types.
