Dell PowerEdge R730 2U dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores and can boost to 3.3 GHz. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, expandable to 1.5 TB. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages storage with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.

Suits virtualisation hosts.

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with two 400 GB SATA SSDs provide a solid base for mixed read-write workloads. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles east-west traffic in dense clusters. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full remote control without a separate KVM. Buyers who need more than two sockets or who require direct-attached GPU compute should evaluate other platforms.

Storage controller dictates drive choice

The PERC H730 1 GB controller supports SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s respectively. It enables hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage. This specification determines which drives can be added and what data-protection schemes are available.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.4 GHz base clock and 14 cores per processor mean for real-world throughput?

Two Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPUs give 28 cores at 2.4 GHz base, boosting to 3.3 GHz under load, so heavily threaded workloads such as virtualization or database work can run across all cores simultaneously.

The PERC H730 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller — what does that cap in practice?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through at 12 Gb/s per SAS lane, so drive arrays are limited by the attached SATA SSDs at 6 Gb/s and the 1 GB cache buffer.

What physical space and mounting hardware does this 2U server need?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height, includes Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in standard racks, and ships with a front bezel; depth clearance depends on the rail extension range.
