Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 12-core processors running at 2.5GHz with a 3.3GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32GB modules. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Suited for virtualisation and database roles

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing nodes. The PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need more than the eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays or who require a different network interface should consider other options.

256GB DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC memory

The installed 256GB DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC memory across 24 total slots determines immediate capacity and expansion headroom. The system supports up to 1.5TB maximum memory. Matching this memory type and speed is essential when adding modules to maintain compatibility and performance.

Questions about this item

How do the two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors at 2.5 GHz perform once installed in the R730?

The dual CPUs provide 24 cores running at a base 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo, backed by 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

What does the PERC H730 1 GB controller with 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity actually limit in everyday use?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, so the 12 Gb/s SAS link caps the sustained throughput of the two 300 GB 10 K drives and any additional SAS or SATA devices.

What physical space and mounting hardware does this 2U server need to fit in a standard rack?

It occupies 2U of rack height, includes ready rails for square or threaded holes, and ships with a front bezel; dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies require matching PDU outlets.
