Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server

This new Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running 12 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits IT teams running virtualisation clusters, databases, VDI or high-performance computing nodes that need dense CPU cores, large memory capacity and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need flash-optimised storage tiers or GPU compute density should evaluate other platforms, as the 2.5-inch drive bays and H730 controller are oriented toward 10K SAS media.

The specification that decides fit

The installed memory sits at 128 GB across 24 total DDR4 slots, leaving 16 slots open for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum supported by the Intel C610 chipset and dual LGA 2011-3 sockets. If the target workload fits within the current 128 GB footprint, the system is ready to deploy; if the application demands more memory headroom, the empty slots and high ceiling allow straightforward scaling without replacing the server.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.5 GHz base clock with 3.3 GHz turbo mean for actual workload performance?

Each Xeon E5-2680 v3 runs at 2.5 GHz base and can reach 3.3 GHz under load across its 12 cores, giving two processors 24 total threads for virtualization, databases or HPC tasks.

How does the H730 controller's 12 Gb/s SAS link affect the eight 2.4 TB drives?

The PERC H730 connects at 12 Gb/s to the eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with its 1 GB battery-backed cache.

What rack depth do the included Ready Rails need for this 2U server?

The 2U chassis fits standard-depth racks; the supplied Ready Rails mount in square-hole or round-hole cabinets with adjustable depth.
