2U Rack Server with 12 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack-mount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 48GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Three 300GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide the storage foundation, while dual 750W redundant power supplies support uptime requirements.

Suited for Archive Workloads, Not Maximum Compute

This configuration fits organisations that prioritise internal capacity — up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives — over raw processor throughput. The single-socket layout and 48GB memory ceiling limit virtualisation density and high-performance database roles. Buyers needing dual-processor throughput, larger memory footprints or PCIe 4.0 slot bandwidth should evaluate alternative platforms.

Single E5-2609v3 Processor Installed

The server arrives with one six-core Xeon E5-2609v3 at 1.9GHz and the chipset supports a second identical processor if the workload demands it. The Intel C610 chipset and six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot define the expansion ceiling. This single-socket starting point is the specification that determines whether the platform matches the intended application scale.
