2U rack server with single Xeon E5-2609 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built around one Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy in a chassis that supports up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays.

Suited for entry workloads.

This configuration fits small business virtualisation, file serving or test environments that need redundant power and hardware RAID without a large upfront investment. Buyers who need more than six cores per socket, larger memory footprints or many additional drive bays should look at a higher-specification platform. The single processor limits both PCIe lane count and the number of usable DIMM slots.

Memory ceiling fixed at 8 GB with one CPU installed

The system board offers 24 DIMM slots, yet the specification lists a maximum memory capacity of 8 GB for this build. Only the 12 slots wired to the installed processor are active, and the supplied 8 GB module already occupies one of them. Expanding memory therefore requires adding a second compatible processor to unlock the remaining slots and raise the supported capacity.

Questions about this item

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

The server supports up to two Xeon processors; a second E5-2609 v3 doubles core count to twelve and unlocks the second set of twelve DIMM slots for memory expansion.

What does the 1.9 GHz clock mean for real workloads?

The six cores at 1.9 GHz deliver steady throughput for virtualization hosts, database servers and file services where core count matters more than peak frequency.

How does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller limit drive performance?

The controller caps each SAS drive at 6 Gbps and supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across up to eight 2.5-inch bays.
