Capacity and form factor

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the chassis.

Fit for purpose

This server suits organisations that need a dense, hot-pluggable 2.5-inch drive platform with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 and integrated iDRAC8 remote management. Buyers who require more than 64 GB of memory, additional drive bays beyond the eight available, or a different processor core count should consider other configurations.

Deciding specification

The installed memory ceiling is 64 GB, matching the current population and leaving no headroom for expansion without removing modules. If the workload demands more memory than this limit, a different server must be selected.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 64GB configuration or plan for 1536GB maximum capacity?

The server ships with 64GB installed and supports up to 1536GB across 24 DDR4 slots; choose the larger capacity only if your workloads need more than 64GB.

What does the 1.9GHz Xeon clock speed deliver in this 2U rack server?

Two six-core E5-2609v3 processors at 1.9GHz provide 12 total cores for multi-threaded server workloads within a 2U form factor.

How does the H730 controller's 12Gbps SAS link affect the installed SATA drives?

The H730 12Gbps RAID controller manages the two 1TB 7.2K SATA drives, but each drive is limited to its native 6Gbps SATA interface speed.
