Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 total DIMM slots and includes two 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the configuration.

Suited for capacity-focused workloads

This server suits environments that need dense 2.5-inch drive bays and hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with up to 64 TB of raw capacity. Buyers who need more than one processor installed, more than 16 GB of memory out of the box, or solid-state drives as standard should look at other configurations. The single CPU limits parallel throughput for heavily threaded applications.

Single Xeon E5-2609 v3 processor

The system contains one six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 at 1.9 GHz and supports a second processor for expanded core count. Memory can scale to 1 536 GB using DDR4 modules up to 2 400 MT/s across 24 slots. Eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays accept SAS or SATA drives, and seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot provide expansion. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2609 v3 or add a second processor?

The server ships with one six-core 1.9 GHz Xeon and supports up to two CPUs; adding a second doubles core count for heavier virtualisation workloads.

What does the 16 GB DDR4 mean for actual workloads?

16 GB of DDR4 fits small databases or a handful of VMs; the board has 24 slots and can scale to 1536 GB when larger DIMMs are installed.

How fast is the 12 Gbps H730 controller with the 6 Gbps SAS drives?

The PERC H730 runs at 12 Gbps but the supplied 300 GB 15 K drives are 6 Gbps SAS, so throughput is capped at the drive link speed.
