Product identity

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, two 2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come as standard.

Fit and limits

The system suits teams that need a dense, redundant platform for virtualisation, database or file workloads using SAS or SATA drives. It is not for buyers who need dual processors installed, more than eight 3.5-inch drive bays, 10 GbE ports without an optional card, or GPU-accelerated compute beyond the seven PCIe 3.0 slots.

Deciding specification

The installed memory is fixed at 8 GB despite 24 DIMM slots being present, so any deployment that cannot operate within that limit must budget for additional DDR4 modules before the server enters production.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 DIMM slots let me add more DDR4 later?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1536 GB total, so you can expand well beyond the 8 GB installed.

What limits the storage speed when the eight 3.5-inch bays are full?

The H330 controller runs at 12 Gbps SAS, while the installed 7.2K drives operate at 6 Gbps, so the drives set the pace.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with dual 750 W supplies running continuously?

Redundant 750 W hot-swap supplies share the load, keeping fan speeds lower than single-supply configurations during all-day operation.
