DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2650v3 10C 2.3GHz 128GB DDR4 2x300GB SAS H730

DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server

The DELL PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 processor with ten cores running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 300GB 15K SAS drives and dual 750W redundant power supplies complete the configuration. This system targets IT teams needing dense compute and storage in a standard rack footprint.

Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

The server suits organisations running virtualised workloads or database instances that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The 24 DIMM slots allow the installed 128GB to be expanded up to the platform maximum of 128GB per processor. Buyers who require dual-processor performance from day one, more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, or onboard 10GbE networking should evaluate other platforms.

Single Xeon E5-2650v3 with ten cores at 2.3GHz

The installed processor delivers ten physical cores and twenty threads via hyper-threading at a base frequency of 2.3GHz. A second processor socket is available for future upgrades, doubling core count and memory channels when populated. This CPU choice determines the maximum memory speed of 2400MT/s and the PCIe 3.0 lane budget for the seven expansion slots and dedicated PERC slot.
