Silver 2U rack server with eight front drive bays and bezel

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6GHz 10-Core 768GB DDR4 H730 8x 300GB SAS

SKU CH-7NK1-XAJAH

Dual 10-core Xeon 2U rack server with 768GB DDR4, H730 RAID, eight 300GB 10K SAS drives, quad-port 1/10GbE and redundant 750W PSUs

  • TypeRack
  • Rack Height2U
  • Redundant Hot-swap PowerYes
  • CPU TypeIntel Xeon
  • CPU Speed2.60 GHz
  • CPU SocketLGA 2011-3

Installed Memory Size 768GB

HDD 8 x 300GB 10K SAS

  • Dual Xeon 10-core CPUs at 2.6 GHz base and 3.3 GHz turbo
  • 768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots
  • PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60
  • Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5-inch bays
  • Quad-port networking with dual 1 GbE and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports

Built for Heavy Virtualisation

Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors deliver 20 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, while 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots supports dense virtual-machine deployments and large in-memory databases. The PERC H730 controller provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache, and eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives supply fast local storage in a 2U chassis with redundant 750 W platinum power supplies.

Ideal for Database and VDI Clusters

Organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes or high-performance computing workloads will benefit from the quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ networking and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or who require a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

1.5 TB Maximum Memory Ceiling

The system supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, so the installed 768 GB leaves room for future expansion without replacing the server. This ceiling determines whether the R730 can grow with workload demands or whether a higher-capacity platform is required.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed write cache; the battery typically lasts several years under normal operation and should be replaced when the controller reports a degraded state.

Which component reaches its limit first during continuous heavy workloads?

The two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors each have 10 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, so sustained all-core loads will hit the CPU thermal ceiling before the 768 GB DDR4 or eight 300 GB SAS drives saturate.

What noise and heat levels should I expect when the server runs 24/7?

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and active cooling keep the 2U chassis within spec; fan speed ramps with CPU load, so expect moderate data-centre noise and warm exhaust air under constant use.
