DELL PowerEdge R730 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 768GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, reaching the platform maximum capacity. A PERC H730 SAS RAID controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays. The unit includes dual 495W power supplies and an Intel I350/X540 quad-port network card providing two 10GbE and two 1GbE connections. iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is licensed and firmware is updated before dispatch.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes needing

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases and compute-heavy workloads that benefit from 768GB of RAM across two six-core CPUs. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports high IOPS storage arrays via the H730 controller. Buyers who need more than two sockets, higher single-thread frequency or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms. Organisations requiring pre-installed drives or a different drive-count chassis will need a custom build.

768GB DDR4 at maximum capacity

The installed 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory equals the R730's supported maximum, leaving no free DIMM slots for future expansion. Workloads that fit within this limit gain immediate capacity without additional procurement. Projects anticipating memory growth beyond 768GB must select a server generation with a higher ceiling.
