2U rack server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory and eight 300GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. The platform targets IT teams that need dense compute and fast local storage in a standard rack footprint.

Hot-plug bays and redundant power free rack space

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives without tools, while the H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across them. Two 750W redundant power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. Up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot leave room for network or storage expansion cards.

Sixteen-core baseline sustains steady throughput

The dual six-core CPUs deliver sixteen threads at a constant 1.9GHz, giving predictable performance for database or virtualisation workloads that run for hours. DDR4 memory can scale to 1536GB across twenty-four DIMM slots when the application demands more capacity. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring so administrators can track thermals and power draw during extended jobs.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5" drive bays does the R730 provide for SAS or SATA drives?

The chassis supports up to eight 2.5" hot-plug bays, all of which are populated with 300 GB 15K SAS drives in this configuration.

What cooling and power arrangement handles continuous operation?

Two redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies share the load, and the 2U rack form factor uses internal fans that scale with CPU and drive temperature.

Which memory type and maximum capacity must the buyer plan for?

The system uses DDR4 RDIMMs and can scale to 1536 GB across 24 slots, although the installed CPUs limit actual speed to 2400 MT/s.
