Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads such as data warehousing, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. It ships new with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each running at 2.60 GHz with eight cores and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency.

Suited for SAS-based virtualisation and databases

This configuration suits buyers who need a balanced compute platform with 128 GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory across 24 slots and a Dell PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It is not for buyers who need more than two processors, more than 1.5 TB of memory or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA.

Dual 2.60 GHz 8-core Xeons set the compute ceiling

The two installed Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs deliver 16 total cores at 2.60 GHz base clock and represent the maximum processor count for this chassis, so the CPU configuration is fixed at purchase and cannot be expanded beyond the supplied 16 cores.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all rails, bezel and power supplies, or must any of those be ordered separately?

The unit includes ready rails, a front bezel and two 750 watt platinum power supplies, so nothing extra is required for basic rack installation.

With 128 GB already installed across 24 slots, how much more DDR4 registered ECC memory can be added?

The board supports up to 1.5 TB total, leaving room for additional modules up to that limit.

What throughput can the PERC H730 controller deliver to the two 300 GB 10K SAS drives in a RAID 1 array?

The H730 provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity, so the drives can operate at their full 10K rotational speed within the controller's bandwidth.
