PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 48GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and eight 300GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and a DVD ROM complete the configuration.

Sustained load behaviour

The ten-core Xeon with 20 virtual threads maintains its 2.3GHz base frequency under continuous multi-threaded workloads thanks to the 2U chassis airflow and redundant cooling. Eight 15K RPM SAS spindles deliver consistent random I/O for database or virtualisation tasks, while the H330 controller sustains write throughput across RAID 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 without a write-back cache bottleneck. DDR4 memory operates up to 2400MT/s limited by the installed processor capability.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your rack provides 2U height and sufficient depth for the 26.8-inch chassis length. Confirm the SAS backplane matches the 2.5-inch hot-plug drive carriers and that the PERC H330 RAID configuration aligns with your storage topology. Ensure the four onboard 1GbE ports or optional 10GbE daughter cards suit your network fabric. Check that the seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus the dedicated PERC slot accommodate any additional controllers or NICs you plan to install.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730 get with its dual 750 W supplies running 24/7?

The server uses two redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies; fan speed and thermal output scale with the installed Xeon E5-2650 v3 workload, so noise and heat will vary with actual CPU utilisation.

What rack-mount hardware is required before the 2U chassis can be installed?

The R730 is a 2U rack-mount server measuring 26.8" deep by 17.44" wide and weighing 58 lbs; it requires a standard four-post rack and compatible sliding rails, which are not included.

Can the existing PERC H330 controller manage the eight 300 GB 15 K SAS drives together with older SATA disks I might add?

The H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supports SAS and SATA drives in the same 2.5" hot-plug bays and offers RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across mixed drive types.
