Dell PowerEdge R730 2U server overview

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory, and two 900 GB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies and eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays complete the platform.

Who this server suits and who it does not

This configuration suits teams that need a dense 2U chassis with hardware RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60, SAS connectivity, and iDRAC8 remote management out of the box. It does not suit buyers who require a second processor installed, more than the two supplied drives, an operating system included, or 10 GbE networking without adding an optional daughter card.

The specification that decides fit

The PERC H330 controller supports only SAS and SATA drives and provides RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across the eight 2.5-inch bays. If your deployment demands a different drive protocol or a RAID level outside that set, this server will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How does the single 1.9 GHz six-core Xeon E5-2609v3 perform in a live 2U rack server?

The installed E5-2609v3 delivers six cores at 1.9 GHz for baseline compute; a second processor can be added later to double thread count.

What does the H330 12Gbps RAID controller cap in practice?

The H330 supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives.

What physical space and mounting does the R730 need?

The chassis measures 26.8 by 17.44 by 3.4 inches, weighs 58 lbs and mounts in a standard rack using 2U of height.
