Rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and three 600 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resilience for continuous operation in data-centre environments.

SAS interface limits drive count and speed

The chassis accepts up to 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, with a maximum raw capacity of 52 TB. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across a 12 Gbps backend, although the installed drives operate at 6 Gbps. Six PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated RAID slot are available for additional controllers or networking cards.

Check memory ceiling and processor headroom

The board provides 24 DIMM slots but the installed processor caps total memory at 8 GB; a second CPU is required to reach the 1536 GB platform maximum. Networking defaults to a four-port 1 GbE daughter card, with optional 10 GbE NDC upgrades. Verify rack depth clearance for the 26.8-inch chassis and ensure 2U vertical space before ordering.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5" drive bays does the R730XD provide and how many are filled?

The chassis holds up to 12 hot-plug bays; three are occupied by 600 GB 15K SAS drives and the remaining nine are free for additional SAS or SATA disks.

What does the E5-2609 v3 at 1.9 GHz mean for actual throughput?

The single six-core Xeon runs at a fixed 1.9 GHz with no Turbo Boost, so multi-threaded workloads scale linearly across six threads but single-thread speed stays at the base frequency.

What RAID levels and throughput does the H730 12 Gbps controller support?

The H730 card handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 12 Gbps SAS link, so the practical ceiling is the drive speed or the PCIe 3.0 x8 slot bandwidth, whichever is lower.
