Rack server with dual Xeon processors

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD ROM complete the configuration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits IT teams that need a dense 2U platform with hardware RAID and redundant power for virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads. Buyers who require more than 16 GB of memory out of the box, more than two drive bays populated or an operating system pre-installed should consider other options.

Specification that decides fit

The installed memory is capped at 16 GB while the chassis provides 24 DIMM slots and the chipset supports up to 1536 GB; if the workload demands more memory than the shipped configuration, additional modules must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules up to the 1536GB maximum?

The server ships with 16GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots. You can expand later using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s, limited by the E5-2609 v3 processor capability.

What does the dual E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz six-core setup deliver in a live workload?

Two Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors provide 12 total cores at 1.9GHz, giving steady multi-thread throughput for virtualization, databases or file services without the higher clocks of advanced models.

How does the H730 12Gbps RAID controller limit the installed 1TB 7.2K SATA drives?

The Perc H730 supports 12Gbps SAS/SATA, but the fitted 2.5-inch 7.2K SATA drives peak at 6Gbps, so the controller will run them at their native 6Gbps link speed.
