2U rack server for virtualisation workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 fits in a standard 2U rack space and ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processor running at 2.4 GHz with eight cores and 16 threads. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Memory ceiling and PCIe 3.0 lane limits

The installed 64 GB already reaches the listed maximum memory capacity, so no further RAM can be added without replacing modules. The board offers up to seven PCIe 3.0 expansion slots plus a dedicated PERC slot, but the single-processor configuration reduces available lanes compared to a dual-CPU build. Four onboard 1 GbE ports handle basic networking; 10 GbE requires an optional NDC daughter card.

Hot-swap bays and redundant power simplify

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays allow drive changes without downtime, and the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. The DVD-ROM provides legacy media access, while iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller enables remote firmware updates and hardware monitoring. Buyers needing more than 64 GB of RAM or a second processor must look elsewhere, as the current configuration does not support either upgrade.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2630 v3 or add a second processor?

The system supports up to two Xeon processors. A second E5-2630 v3 doubles cores to 16 physical, 32 threads, and unlocks the remaining 12 DIMM slots for memory expansion beyond the installed 64 GB.

What does the 2.4 GHz base clock deliver in a live workload?

Eight cores at 2.4 GHz with hyper-threading give 16 logical threads, suited for virtualization, database, and multi-threaded applications that benefit from core count over peak frequency.

How does the H730 controller’s 12 Gbps SAS link affect my SATA drives?

The H730 runs at 12 Gbps on the backplane, but the installed 1 TB SATA drives operate at 6 Gbps; the controller still provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with 1 GB cache.
