Dual-socket Xeon server for dense storage workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R730 fits eight 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack frame. Two Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors run at 2.3GHz with twelve cores each and 30MB cache per chip. Installed memory totals 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs, expandable to 768GB across twenty-four slots. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA drives. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.
Sustained throughput with dual 495W supplies
Redundant 495W power supplies keep both CPUs and all drive bays fed during continuous operation. The PERC H730 controller maintains consistent RAID performance across the eight-bay backplane without thermal throttling. Network connectivity uses Intel I350 and X540 adapters providing two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports for steady data flow. Firmware is updated to the latest stable release before shipment and each unit passes a full burn-in test.
Verify rack depth and drive carrier compatibility
The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so confirm your rack enclosure accommodates that length with cable clearance. Eight 3.5-inch bays require matching drive carriers; drives are not included and must be sourced separately. Maximum memory ceiling is 768GB, so plan any future expansion within that limit. Rail kits are available on request if your rack uses a different mounting standard.

Questions about this item
How much power do the dual Xeon E5-2670 v3 CPUs and 512GB DDR4 draw under sustained load?
The system ships with two 495W power supplies designed for the 12th-generation platform, providing redundancy for the dual 2.3GHz 12-core processors and memory.
Which drive caddies and cables are required to populate the 8LFF bays?
The chassis accepts eight 3.5-inch drives on a SATA backplane connected to the PERC H730 SAS controller; Dell 3.5-inch caddies are required for each bay.
Will the PERC H730 RAID controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise work with my existing 12Gbps SAS shelves?
The H730 supports 12Gbps SAS connectivity and the iDRAC8 Enterprise license enables full remote management alongside legacy storage arrays.
