2U dual-socket server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 1 GB storage controller. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs provide fast boot and application storage, while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 8 Enterprise and dual 750 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Fits dense compute clusters.

This platform suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running databases or hosting VDI on a 2U footprint with redundant power and remote management. The 24 DIMM slots allow growth to 1.5 TB of DDR4 when workloads demand more memory. Buyers who need more than two physical processors or who require a different drive interface than SATA or SAS should evaluate alternative server designs.

Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 with 24 DDR4 slots

The decisive specification is the pair of eight-core Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs combined with 24 DDR4 memory slots supporting up to 1.5 TB. This processor and memory configuration determines whether the server can handle the intended virtualisation density or database concurrency.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2×800GB SSD configuration or add more drives to the 8-bay chassis?

The 2×800GB SATA SSDs give immediate RAID-1 redundancy on the H730 controller; six open 2.5-inch bays remain for future capacity expansion.

What does the 2.6GHz base clock with 3.4GHz turbo mean for my virtualization host?

Each E5-2640 v3 delivers eight cores at 2.6GHz and can boost to 3.4GHz, giving 16 total threads for consistent VM density.

How does the 12Gb/s SAS/SATA H730 controller limit drive performance?

The H730 caps SATA SSDs at 6Gb/s while supporting 12Gb/s SAS, so installed SATA drives run at their native link speed.
