2U rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U chassis, providing high storage density for databases, virtualization hosts or backup targets. A single Xeon E5-2650 v3 with 10 cores at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots delivers compute for multi-threaded applications. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management support continuous operation in rack environments.

H330 RAID controller with 12 Gbps SAS

The installed H330 controller manages the three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives at 6 Gbps and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to 24 drives. Maximum raw capacity reaches 52 TB when all bays are populated with SAS or SATA media. The controller occupies a dedicated slot, leaving up to six PCIe 3.0 slots free for additional networking or acceleration cards.

Sustained throughput with 15 K spindles

Three 15 K SAS drives provide consistent random I/O performance for transactional workloads without the thermal throttling seen in burst-oriented SSDs. Redundant 750 W power supplies maintain voltage stability during prolonged drive rebuilds or parity calculations. The 2U airflow design and hot-plug bays allow drive replacement under load while the system remains in production.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.3 GHz clock speed mean for real-world workloads?

The Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 runs at 2.3 GHz base frequency across 10 cores, delivering 20 threads with Hyper-Threading for parallel tasks such as virtualization and database queries.

How does the H330 controller's 12 Gbps SAS interface limit drive performance?

The H330 supports 12 Gbps SAS connectivity, but the installed 300 GB drives operate at 6 Gbps, so throughput caps at the drive speed rather than the controller maximum.

What clearance and rails are required to mount this 2U chassis in a standard rack?

The server occupies 2U (3.4 inches) of rack height, measures 26.8 inches deep by 17.44 inches wide, and uses standard 2.5-inch hot-plug drive trays for the 24-bay front panel.
