Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. It includes a Dell PERC H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, 60 and two 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies. The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and a DVD-ROM drive. It is designed for virtualisation, database and general-purpose workloads in a compact form factor.

Target users and limitations

This system suits IT teams needing a dense, two-socket platform with high memory capacity and hardware RAID for traditional SAS or SATA drives. The four onboard 1 GbE ports handle standard network traffic, while seven PCIe 3.0 slots allow additional I/O expansion. Buyers who need more than eight front drive bays or integrated 10 GbE connectivity without add-in cards should consider other configurations.

Deciding specification

The installed memory reaches the maximum 128 GB supported by this single-processor configuration, so the system cannot accept additional RAM unless a second CPU is added. This limit determines whether the server can host the planned virtual machine density or in-memory database size without a processor upgrade.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a single or dual processor configuration for the R730?

The server supports up to two Xeon processors; this unit ships with one E5-2630v3 installed and has a second socket available for future expansion.

What does the 128GB DDR4 figure mean for daily workloads?

128GB is the current installed capacity and also the maximum this configuration can hold, using 24 DIMM slots that run up to 2400MT/s depending on the processor.

How does the H330 controller’s 12Gbps rating affect drive performance?

The H330 provides a 12Gbps SAS/SATA interface and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays.
