2U rack server with dual Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules and includes a PERC H730 storage controller.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This server suits environments that run virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing nodes. The eight 800 GB SATA SSDs provide fast local storage for read-heavy workloads. Buyers who need more than two processors or a different drive interface should look at other platforms.

24 DDR4 slots for up to 1.5 TB

The motherboard offers 24 DDR4 slots and supports a maximum of 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory. This capacity ceiling is the key figure when planning memory-heavy applications or future upgrades.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The server arrives with 256 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC across eight 32 GB modules; 24 slots exist in total and the platform supports up to 1.5 TB.

What does the 2.0 GHz Xeon E5-2660 v4 speed deliver in this 2U chassis?

Two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors run at 2.0 GHz base with 3.2 GHz turbo, giving 28 cores and 56 threads for virtualisation, databases or HPC node workloads.

How does the PERC H730 controller and SATA SSDs limit real-world throughput?

The PERC H730 1 GB mini controller connects at 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA and the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs each saturate the 6 Gb/s link, so aggregate read bandwidth is capped by the SATA interface.
