Dual Xeon E5-2699 v3 server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives as a 2U rack system with two 18-core processors running at 2.3 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or high-performance workloads in a standard rack footprint.
PERC H730 RAID controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise
The integrated PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays with full hardware RAID support while the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence provides complete out-of-band management, remote console and lifecycle automation without additional licensing cost.
384 GB installed with 768 GB ceiling
The current 384 GB configuration handles large virtual-machine fleets and in-memory databases comfortably; the board supports up to 768 GB so memory-heavy applications can grow without a platform change. Storage capacity depends entirely on the drives you add as no drives are included.

Questions about this item
What drive maintenance or replacement should I plan for with the 8 LFF bays and PERC H730 controller?
The chassis holds eight 3.5" SATA or SAS drives; the PERC H730 handles RAID, so plan to replace any failed drive with a matching 3.5" SAS or SATA unit and rebuild the array.
Which limit appears first under sustained load — CPU thermal throttle or memory capacity?
Two Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores each will hit thermal limits before the 384 GB DDR4 (max 768 GB) becomes a bottleneck.
How much noise, heat and power should I expect from the dual 495 W supplies running 24/7?
Dual 495 W PSUs power the 2U server; expect data-centre noise levels and a heat output that matches the actual draw of the 36-core configuration under load.
