Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache, and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs in hot-swap bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration fits midsize enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or data-warehouse tasks that benefit from 20 total cores and large memory capacity. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card supports high-throughput east-west traffic. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two sockets or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 mini controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed 1 GB cache, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component determines whether the eight 800 GB SSDs can be arranged for the redundancy or performance profile your workload requires.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5 inch SSDs into the 8-bay front chassis and what step is often missed?

Slide each 800GB SATA SSD into a front bay until the carrier clicks, then configure the desired RAID level in the PERC H730 utility before installing the operating system.

Which component will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The PERC H730 controller battery backs the write cache and typically requires replacement after several years of 24/7 use.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors run sustained heavy workloads?

The two 750 watt platinum power supplies set the total power envelope, so CPU turbo frequencies may be reduced before memory or storage bandwidth saturates.
