Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each offering 10 cores and 25 MB cache. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management.
Virtualisation hosts and memory-heavy databases
This configuration suits teams that need dense compute and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint. The 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM provides headroom for heavy virtualisation or in-memory analytics. Buyers who want internal storage included or who require more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.
512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed
The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across its DIMM slots. Maximum supported capacity reaches 768 GB, allowing future expansion if workloads grow. Memory type and generation are fixed to DDR4, so only compatible modules can be added later.

Questions about this item
Which drive-bay version should I choose, the 8-bay 3.5" or a smaller chassis?
This unit is the 8-bay 3.5" LFF chassis that holds up to eight large-form-factor drives; no smaller bay count is offered for this configuration.
What does the 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory mean for real workloads?
The 512 GB of registered ECC DDR4 supports large virtualisation clusters or in-memory databases and can be expanded to 768 GB if the application grows.
How does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit drive performance?
The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA and SAS drives, capping each drive to the SATA or SAS link speed it negotiates.
