Dual-socket 2U server with 768GB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller managing eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or data-warehouse workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 support deliver reliable throughput for spinning media. Buyers who need solid-state latency, GPU compute slots or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

24 DIMM slots supporting 1.5 TB maximum DDR4

The server provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots populated with 32 GB modules, allowing expansion up to 1.5 TB total capacity. Memory runs at 2133 MHz registered ECC, and the LGA 2011-3 socket limits upgrades to the same processor generation. Confirm your workload fits within this ceiling before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is managing the eight 2.4TB SAS drives correctly after installation?

Check the controller BIOS during boot for all eight drives detected at 12Gb/s, then use the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface to confirm RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 status and battery health.

Which components are included and what must be sourced separately for this R730?

The unit ships with dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs, 768GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC across 24 slots, H730 1GB controller, eight 2.4TB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, dual 750W PSUs, rails and bezel; only OS licences and rack mounting hardware are extra.

Should I choose this 768GB configuration or plan for the 1.5TB maximum capacity?

The 768GB (24×32GB) fills every slot, so reaching 1.5TB requires replacing all modules with higher-capacity DDR4 2133MHz Registered ECC DIMMs; keep this config if current workloads fit, upgrade only if growth is certain.
