Dual 14-core Xeon rack server

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total capacity. The platform targets midsize and large enterprise workloads such as virtualisation, databases and high-performance computing nodes.

Suited for SAS storage and 10 GbE needs

This configuration includes eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who need higher drive counts, different drive interfaces or single-socket power envelopes should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with battery-backed 1 GB cache, enabling the full RAID stack listed above. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported and is the key specification to verify against application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 configuration or look for a different CPU option?

This unit comes with two Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo and 14 cores, giving 28 cores total. The socket is LGA 2011-3 and the maximum processor count is already reached, so no further CPU upgrades are possible.

What does 256 GB of DDR4 actually deliver in this R730?

The 256 GB is installed as eight 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules. The board supports up to 1.5 TB across 24 slots, leaving ample room to add memory for larger virtualisation or database workloads.

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

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache and battery backup. The eight 600 GB 10 K SAS drives connect at 12 Gb/s, so the backplane and controller together set the practical throughput ceiling for the array.
