Dual Xeon rack server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9GHz and 32GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with two 1TB 7.2K RPM 2.5-inch enterprise SATA drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The platform targets small-to-medium businesses consolidating virtual machines or running line-of-business applications.

Storage and expansion constrained by 2.5-inch bays

The chassis accepts up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, limiting raw capacity to 64TB with current drive sizes. The H330 controller operates at 12Gbps but lacks cache, so write performance depends on the mechanical drives installed. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot provide room for additional networking or storage cards, while the integrated daughter card supplies four 1GbE ports with optional 10GbE upgrades.

Redundant power and remote management simplify

Dual 750W hot-swap power supplies deliver N+1 redundancy, allowing a failed unit to be replaced without downtime. The iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller enables out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and remote KVM access from any browser. Tool-less drive carriers and a slide-ready chassis make drive swaps and rack maintenance straightforward, though the 58-pound weight requires two-person handling during initial installation.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1TB SATA drives or add more bays up to the 8 x 2.5" limit?

The server ships with two 1TB 7.2K 6Gbps 2.5" SATA drives installed. You can populate up to six additional 2.5" hot-plug bays with SAS or SATA drives, and the H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across all bays.

What does the dual E5-2609v3 1.9GHz six-core CPU configuration deliver in this 2U chassis?

Two Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9GHz give twelve total cores. The C610 chipset and DDR4 memory run up to 2400MT/s, though actual speed depends on the installed CPU capability.

How does the H330 12Gbps RAID controller connect to the drives and what does it cap?

The H330 is a 12Gbps SAS/SATA RAID controller with a dedicated PERC slot. It manages up to eight 2.5" hot-plug drives and caps RAID levels at 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 with a maximum raw capacity of 64TB.
