Server for Enterprise Virtualisation and Databases

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing workloads. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors deliver 20 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo capability. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of registered ECC DDR4 memory across 8 modules provides a solid base for memory-intensive applications.

Storage and Network Limits of the SAS Controller

The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache backed by a battery. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gb/s, though only two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed. The X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so throughput above 10 Gb/s requires additional networking hardware.

Compatibility Checks Before Ordering

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and that the included ready rails match your cabinet depth. Confirm the two 750 W platinum power supplies meet your facility voltage and redundancy requirements. Ensure the LGA 2011-3 socket and C610 chipset align with any planned processor upgrades, and that DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules are used for memory expansion up to 1.5 TB.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 128 GB configuration or plan to fill all 24 slots for 1.5 TB?

The server ships with 128 GB across eight 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz modules, leaving 16 slots open for future expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum.

What does the 2.6 GHz base and 3.3 GHz turbo mean for real workloads?

Each of the two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors runs at 2.6 GHz base and can boost to 3.3 GHz, delivering 20 total cores for databases and virtualization.

How does the PERC H730 12 Gb/s controller limit drive performance?

The H730 supports SAS and SATA at 12 Gb/s with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so the controller caps throughput at the drive interface speed.
