Two-Socket Xeon Server for Enterprise Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes.

Storage and Network Limits of the SAS Controller

The PERC H730 controller provides 1 GB cache and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode over a 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA interface. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed in the 2.5-inch bays. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for network connectivity.

Verify Rack Space, Power

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with the included ready rails and front bezel. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies require compatible PDU outlets and support hot-swap redundancy. Memory can scale to 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots, so plan future upgrades within the registered ECC specification.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules up to the 1.5 TB maximum?

The system ships with 256 GB across eight 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules, leaving sixteen of the twenty-four slots free for future expansion up to the 1.5 TB limit.

How does the 2.5 GHz base clock and 3.3 GHz turbo on the dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs translate to real-world throughput?

Two 12-core processors running at 2.5 GHz base with 3.3 GHz turbo deliver twenty-four cores and forty-eight threads, suited for virtualisation, databases and high-performance computing workloads.

What RAID levels and drive speeds does the PERC H730 1 GB controller support with the eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives?

The H730 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 at 12 Gb/s SAS, so the eight 300 GB 10K drives can be arranged for capacity, redundancy or a mix of both.
