Built for virtualised workloads

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides six cores, giving twelve cores in total for parallel workloads. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. It targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes.

Storage ceiling with twelve-gigabit SAS

Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and a battery-backed write cache. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Drive bays accept 2.5 inch SAS or SATA devices at 12 Gb/s. The installed mechanical drives limit raw capacity to 2.4 TB and maximum throughput to the spindle speed of 10K RPM. Buyers who need more storage or all-flash performance must populate additional bays with larger or solid-state drives.

Memory headroom decides fit

Twenty-four DIMM slots allow expansion up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. The current 256 GB configuration leaves twenty slots free for growth. Workloads that exceed the installed capacity will require additional modules matched to the 2133 MHz registered ECC specification. Buyers whose applications demand more than 1.5 TB total memory cannot use this platform.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 300 GB 10K SAS drives or a larger-capacity option?

The eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives deliver fast 12 Gb/s throughput for transactional workloads; if you need more raw capacity you would replace them with higher-capacity SAS drives that the H730 controller supports.

What does the 2.4 GHz Xeon speed mean once the server is running live workloads?

Each of the two E5-2620 v3 processors runs at 2.4 GHz base and can turbo to 3.2 GHz across its six cores, giving 12 total cores for virtualisation, databases or HPC tasks.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS interface limit real-world drive performance?

The PERC H730 controller and backplane both run at 12 Gb/s, so the 10K SAS disks operate at their full native speed without being bottlenecked by a slower 6 Gb/s link.
