DELL PowerEdge R730 8SFF Xeon E5-2690 v3 384GB DDR4

DELL PowerEdge R730 8SFF Server

The DELL PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for dense compute workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 processor running at 2.6GHz with 12 cores and 30MB cache. The system includes 384GB of DDR4 ECC Registered memory across 24 DIMM slots, with capacity for up to 768GB. An 8-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis and PERC H730 RAID controller provide flexible storage options.

Virtualisation hosts needing large memory pools

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, database caching layers, or compute nodes where 384GB of RAM supports high VM density. The single-socket layout leaves one processor socket open for future expansion up to two CPUs. Buyers who need dual-processor performance immediately or require installed boot drives should evaluate other platforms. The integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence enables full remote lifecycle management.

Single Xeon E5-2690 v3 with 384GB DDR4

The installed processor delivers 12 cores at 2.6GHz with a 30MB cache, while the 384GB DDR4 memory fills half the maximum 768GB capacity. This balance of core count and memory bandwidth determines whether the server fits memory-intensive applications. The PERC H730 controller supports SAS drives in the eight front-accessible bays, and dual 495W power supplies provide redundancy for the configured components.
