DELL PowerEdge R730 2x Xeon E5-2650L v3 384GB DDR4 8LFF

Built for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 in its 8 LFF chassis holds up to eight 3.5-inch drives and ships with two Xeon E5-2650L v3 processors running at 1.8 GHz. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages the backplane, while 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory fills half the 768 GB maximum. Dual 495 W supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete a platform sized for capacity-heavy tasks.

Suits buyers who need maximum 3.5-inch bay count

This configuration targets archives, backup targets and media libraries that benefit from eight large-form-factor slots and an Intel I350/X540 quad-port card. Builders who require 2.5-inch density, more than two sockets, or a newer processor generation should evaluate other platforms.

The eight 3.5-inch drive bay limit decides fit

With a hard ceiling of eight LFF bays and a PERC H730 RAID controller, the chassis cannot accept additional internal disks beyond that count. Confirm the required raw capacity fits inside eight bays before ordering.
