PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard for data-centre deployment.

SAS 6 Gbps drive interface and PCIe 3.0 slots

The eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives at 6 Gbps, limiting throughput to that bus speed regardless of drive capability. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across a maximum raw capacity of 64 TB. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot provide expansion, but total bandwidth is constrained to the PCIe 3.0 generation.

Check CPU socket count

The system board accommodates up to two processors, yet only one is installed and the listed maximum memory is 8 GB despite 24 DIMM slots being present. Buyers needing more than 8 GB must verify whether the single CPU configuration can address larger modules or if a second processor is required. The four-port 1 GbE daughter card is fitted; 10 GbE networking requires an optional NDC upgrade.

Questions about this item

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

The system ships with one E5-2630 v3 eight-core CPU at 2.4 GHz; a second socket is available if you need up to 16 physical cores and 1536 GB total memory.

What does the 2.4 GHz clock mean for real workloads?

Eight cores at 2.4 GHz with hyper-threading give 16 threads for parallel tasks such as virtualisation or database queries.

How fast is the SAS interface on the H730 controller?

The H730 runs at 12 Gbps, while the installed 300 GB drives operate at 6 Gbps, so the controller caps at the drive speed.
