2U Rack Server with 15K SAS

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor at 2.3GHz with 16GB DDR4 memory. It ships with two 300GB 15K SAS drives and a Perc H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the package for deployment in standard racks.

Fits Virtualisation Hosts.

The system suits IT teams running moderate virtualisation clusters, traditional databases or file services that benefit from 15K spindle speed and hardware RAID flexibility. Four 1GbE ports and up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots handle typical networking and add-in cards. Buyers needing more than 16GB RAM from day one or wanting native all-flash performance should consider other configurations.

Single E5-2650v3 Limits Core Count

With one processor installed the server delivers 10 physical cores and 20 threads, capping the memory ceiling at 1536GB across 24 DIMM slots. Adding a second compatible Xeon would double the core count and unlock the full memory capacity. The choice between single and dual CPU therefore decides whether this chassis meets the workload’s parallelism and memory footprint requirements.

Questions about this item

What does the ten-core 2.3 GHz Xeon deliver in a live workload?

The single E5-2650v3 provides ten physical cores at 2.3 GHz with hyper-threading for twenty logical threads, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization or database tasks.

How does the 12 Gbps H730 controller limit drive performance?

The Perc H730 runs at 12 Gbps SAS, so the installed 6 Gbps 15K drives and any SATA drives will operate at their native link speed rather than the controller maximum.

What rack depth and bay count must the cabinet provide?

The 2U chassis is 26.8 inches deep and accepts up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays, so the rack must accommodate that depth and bay population.
