DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6GHz 10-core 64GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD H730

Dual Xeon 2U rack server

This DELL PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors. Each CPU provides 10 cores at 2.60 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1GB cache. It is built for virtualization, database and high-performance computing workloads.

Suited for dual-socket density, not for scale-out

This server suits IT teams consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive applications on a two-socket platform. The 24 DIMM slots support up to 1.5TB of DDR4 for large in-memory datasets. Buyers who need more than two processors, GPU compute slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms because this chassis maxes out at two CPUs and uses SATA/SAS connectivity.

PERC H730 RAID flexibility

The installed PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Two 800GB SATA SSDs provide a starting point for operating system or caching tiers. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow expansion with additional SATA or SAS drives to match capacity and performance targets.
