Dual Xeon 12-core rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors. Each CPU provides 12 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and eight 400 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

This configuration suits environments that run many virtual machines or containers and benefit from 24 total cores and a large 512 GB DDR4 pool. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis is populated entirely with SATA SSDs, so buyers who need more drive bays or a single-socket platform should look elsewhere.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss, a decisive factor for databases and other write-sensitive workloads.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 controller battery need periodic replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache; the battery is a consumable part that typically requires replacement every few years to maintain write-back caching protection.

Which component reaches its limit first during continuous heavy workloads?

The two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors each have a 12-core design with a 3.3 GHz turbo ceiling; sustained all-core loads will hit thermal and power limits before memory or storage bottlenecks appear.

How loud and hot does the system get when running 24/7 with both 750 W power supplies active?

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies and hot-swap fans keep temperatures within spec; acoustic output rises with workload but remains typical for a 2U rack server in a data-centre environment.
