Eight-bay 3.5-inch rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise, and dual 495 W power supplies are installed.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This configuration fits organisations that need high internal drive capacity in a standard rack footprint, such as backup repositories, surveillance archives or local file serving. The 768 GB memory ceiling and two-socket limit mean it covers most virtualisation clusters, but buyers who need more than two processors or a 1U form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch chassis: it sets the maximum raw storage the server can hold without external enclosures. If the workload demands more bays or a different drive form factor, this model will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 495W supplies draw when the R730 runs a full load all day?

The system includes two 495W power supplies that share the load; each unit is rated for 495 watts and the pair provides redundancy for continuous operation.

Which drives and caddies must I already own to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts eight 3.5-inch SATA drives; you supply the drives and any Dell 3.5-inch hot-plug caddies required for the front bays.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise the older 6 Gbps SAS drives I plan to reuse?

The PERC H730 supports 12 Gbps SAS and is backward compatible with 6 Gbps SAS and SATA drives, so your existing drives will be detected and can be configured in RAID.
