Rack server with dual Xeon processors

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 8 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total capacity. The PERC H730 controller provides RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 over SATA and SAS interfaces.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from dual-socket compute and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links plus iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch drive trays with H730 RAID

The chassis provides eight hot-swap 2.5-inch trays for SATA or SAS drives, backed by the H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. No drives are installed, so capacity and performance depend entirely on the disks selected. This tray count and controller combination is the key constraint for storage planning.

Questions about this item

Should I populate all 24 DIMM slots now or start with the 64 GB that is installed?

The server ships with 64 GB across four 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules, leaving 20 slots free for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum.

What does the 2.6 GHz base clock with 3.4 GHz turbo mean for sustained workloads?

Each Xeon E5-2640 v3 runs at 2.6 GHz base and can boost to 3.4 GHz under load, giving 16 total cores for virtualisation, databases or HPC tasks.

What RAID levels can the PERC H730 1 GB controller handle over the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, limited by the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface on the eight 2.5-inch trays.
