Rack server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads such as data warehousing, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for density-focused deployments.

This platform suits teams that need high core density and integrated 10 GbE networking in a compact 2U form factor with redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives, leaving six bays open for additional SAS or SATA storage. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or who require a different drive form factor should consider alternative chassis designs.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA bays define storage limits

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 2.5-inch front panel wired to the PERC H730 controller for 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity. With two 300 GB SAS drives installed, remaining capacity depends entirely on how many additional 2.5-inch drives the buyer adds. No larger drive form factors or additional backplanes are supported in this 2U configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 or a single-processor alternative?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs installed. Each processor has 12 cores running at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. The board supports a maximum of two processors, so this configuration already provides the full 24 cores available for this model.

What does 64 GB DDR4 2133 MHz mean for virtualization density?

The system includes 64 GB across four 16 GB registered ECC DDR4 modules at 2133 MHz. With 24 total DIMM slots and a 1.5 TB maximum, you can add substantial memory later to increase VM density or database buffer space without replacing the existing modules.

How does the PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit drive performance?

The H730 controller operates at 12 Gb/s SAS and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. The installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect at that speed, so sequential throughput and IOPS will be capped by the drive spindle rate and the 12 Gb/s link rather than the controller itself.
