Silver 2U rack server with front bezel, eight 2.5-inch drive bays and dual power supplies

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 8C 768GB DDR4 H730 8× 1.2TB SAS

SKU CH-3DN7-5060S

HDD 8 x 1.2TB 10K SAS

  • Dual 2.6 GHz 8-core Xeons handle demanding workloads
  • 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory supports large virtualisation environments
  • PERC H730 1 GB controller enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60
  • Eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives deliver high-capacity storage
  • Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power

Target workloads

This 2U rack server is built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing as a data node. Dual 2.60 GHz 8-core Xeon processors and 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory provide the compute and memory capacity those workloads demand.

Who should look elsewhere

Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of total memory capacity or more than two processor sockets will not be able to expand this chassis further. Teams requiring installed solid-state drives or support for storage protocols other than SAS and SATA should evaluate different platforms.

Storage controller

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller handles the eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery for cache protection.

Questions about this item

How do I expand memory beyond the 768 GB already installed?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total. You can add registered ECC modules to the empty slots or replace the existing 32 GB sticks with larger capacities.

Which component limits sustained write throughput first?

The eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives behind the PERC H730 controller set the sustained write ceiling; the controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 but disk spindle speed is the bottleneck.

What are the power draw and noise levels with both 750 W PSUs running 24/7?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies share the load for redundancy; exact wattage and acoustic figures depend on workload, but the redundant design keeps the system running if one unit fails.
