Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay server

This 2U rack system ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors running at 2.3GHz, each providing 18 cores and 45MB cache. The 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the available DIMM slots, leaving headroom toward the 768GB maximum. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, while integrated graphics handle basic display output.

Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

The dual-socket design and large memory capacity support dense virtual machine deployments or in-memory workloads. Eight drive bays allow substantial local storage arrays when drives are added. Organisations needing more than two processors or memory beyond 768GB cannot expand this chassis further. Buyers who require pre-installed drives or GPU acceleration should look at a different configuration.

Dual Xeon E5-2697 v4 with 256GB DDR4

The defining specification is the paired 18-core processors combined with 256GB of DDR4 ECC memory. This compute and memory foundation determines whether the server matches the performance envelope of the intended workload. All other capabilities scale from this core configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 768 GB maximum?

The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. The board supports up to 768 GB, so you can expand later if your workloads grow beyond the current capacity.

What does the 2.3 GHz Xeon E5-2697 v4 with 18 cores per socket deliver in a live server?

Two 18-core processors at 2.3 GHz provide 36 total cores for parallel workloads such as virtualization, databases or compute clusters.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller and the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis limit my storage choices?

The H730 handles SAS and SATA drives in the eight 3.5-inch bays. It caps usable throughput to the controller's SAS lanes and the SATA interface speed of the installed drives.
