DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz 14-Core 768GB DDR4 8x 1.2TB SAS

PowerEdge R730 2U dual-socket server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors provide 28 cores at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total.

Ideal for dense compute and storage nodes

Organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or e-commerce platforms will benefit from the eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives and the PERC H730 controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require more than two processors or need drive interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms.

24 DIMM slots define maximum memory capacity

The R730 provides 24 DDR4 memory slots populated with 24 × 32 GB modules in this configuration. That slot count sets the 1.5 TB ceiling, so any future expansion beyond the installed 768 GB must fit within the remaining slots and the registered ECC DDR4 requirement.
