Dual-socket Xeon server with 384 GB DDR4
The Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives with two E5-2640 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with ten cores and 25 MB cache. That combination targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes or rendering farms that need plenty of threads and a large memory pool. Buyers who need more than two sockets or a newer instruction set should look elsewhere.
Sustained throughput from PERC H730 and 10 GbE
The PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives in RAID, delivering consistent I/O during long backup windows or heavy OLTP runs. Dual 10 GbE ports from the Intel I350/X540 card keep network queues short when multiple VMs migrate or replicate simultaneously. The 495 W redundant supplies maintain power through a single-module failure without throttling.
Eight-bay chassis with iDRAC8 Enterprise remote
The 2U rack frame measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, fitting standard four-post cabinets with room for cable management. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides out-of-band console, power cycling and firmware updates over a dedicated management port. Rails are available on request, and no drives ship installed so you can populate the bays with the capacity and endurance mix your workload demands.

Questions about this item
How much power do the two 495 W supplies draw when the R730 runs continuously?
The server includes dual 495 W power supplies; actual draw depends on workload but each unit can deliver up to 495 W.
What drive trays or caddies are needed to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?
The 8 LFF chassis accepts standard Dell 3.5-inch hot-plug drive carriers; drives slide directly into the bays.
Will the PERC H730 RAID controller recognise SATA SSDs I already own?
Yes, the H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives, so existing SATA SSDs can be configured in RAID arrays.
