PowerEdge R730 2U dual-Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each with ten cores running at 2.6 GHz and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules and eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management, a quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card, rails and a front bezel complete the package.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehousing, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from twenty total cores and half a terabyte of RAM. Organisations needing more than two sockets, GPU compute slots, or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms. Buyers whose workloads fit within the installed 512 GB and the twenty-four DIMM slots will find headroom to grow to the 1.5 TB maximum.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 mini controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes backed by a battery-protected 1 GB cache. It connects to the eight 2.5-inch drive bays over 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA links, delivering hardware-accelerated redundancy and performance for the included 800 GB SSDs. Confirm that your application’s I/O profile matches these RAID levels and the SATA SSD throughput before deployment.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum DDR4 capacity the R730 can take when I need more than the installed 512 GB?

The system supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across its 24 DIMM slots, so you can add modules until that ceiling is reached.

Which component will reach its limit first when the server runs at full load continuously?

The two 750 W power supplies set the overall power envelope; sustained full-load operation will hit that supply ceiling before other subsystems saturate.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 750 W PSUs and dual 10‑core CPUs running all day?

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum supplies and dual 10‑core Xeons mean the fans will spin up under load, producing noticeable rack-level noise and exhaust heat typical for a fully populated 2U server.
