Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMMs. A PERC H730 1 GB storage controller manages eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in hot-swap bays.

Suited for virtualization and database clusters.

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes or high-performance computing clusters that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The dual-processor design and 24 total DIMM slots allow expansion up to 1.5 TB of DDR4. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than eight drive bays or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB Mini controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its battery-backed cache protects in-flight data during power loss. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available, making it the key specification for storage planning.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the available drive configurations for this R730?

The server ships with eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so capacity and redundancy depend on the RAID level you select.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock mean for actual performance once the server is running?

Each Xeon E5-2683 v4 runs at 2.1 GHz base with a 3.0 GHz turbo, giving 32 total cores that scale frequency up under load for compute-intensive tasks.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS interface cap in practice for these drives?

The 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and H730 controller set the link speed, while the 10K SAS drives deliver sustained throughput within that limit.
