Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for dense compute environments. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots.

Suited for SAS storage workloads

This configuration suits buyers who need eight hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS bays populated with 300 GB 15K drives and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 via the H330 controller. Builders who require more than one processor installed, solid-state drives or additional PCIe expansion beyond seven slots should evaluate other options.

Single-socket CPU limits total memory

The installed E5-2609 v3 supports a maximum of 1536 GB of DDR4 across both processor sockets, but only one CPU is fitted. Memory speed reaches up to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor capability, so the single-socket configuration caps usable capacity at half the system maximum.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the H330 12Gbps controller support?

The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, and 60 across the eight installed 300GB SAS drives.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays are available in this 2U chassis?

The R730 provides eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays, all occupied by the 300GB 15K SAS drives supplied.

How is the second processor added, and what is the common oversight?

Install the second Xeon in the empty socket, then populate its 12 dedicated DIMM slots; the mistake is adding memory only to the first processor's slots.
