DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 2.1GHz 16-core 128GB DDR4 H730 2x 300GB SAS

Dual 16-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It provides 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight modules and uses a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache for RAID management. The system ships with two 300 GB 10K SAS drives in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suited for virtualization and database nodes

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts and hardware RAID for mixed read-write workloads such as virtual desktop infrastructure or data warehousing. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise support continuous operation with remote management. Buyers requiring solid-state storage or more than two 300 GB drives should consider other configurations.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The installed PERC H730 1 GB controller handles SAS and SATA drives with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It determines which drive types and RAID levels are available without adding a separate card. Confirm that the controller meets the redundancy and performance needs of the intended workload before purchase.
