2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

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 16 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 300 GB 15 K SAS drives connected to a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the configuration, making it ready for immediate deployment in density-constrained data-centre racks.

Suits Consolidation Workloads Not GPU Farms

This server suits IT teams consolidating virtual machines, databases or internal applications where hot-plug SAS storage and redundant power are required. The single-socket layout and eight 2.5-inch drive bays limit raw storage capacity and CPU thread count, so buyers who need dual-processor performance, larger drive counts or GPU acceleration should look at alternative platforms.

Eight 300 GB SAS Drives Define Capacity

The installed complement of eight 300 GB 15 K SAS drives delivers 2.4 TB of high-speed storage behind the H730 controller. That fixed drive count and capacity is the decisive specification: if the workload demands more spindles, larger drives or a different RAID topology, the chassis cannot accommodate them without a hardware change.
