Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Server
This 2U rack server ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 processor running at 2.4 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives through a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by an iDRAC8 Enterprise licence and dual 495 W power supplies provide redundancy.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory
The single 10-core CPU and 256 GB RAM fit mid-size VM clusters or database instances that can grow to 768 GB. Organisations requiring dual processors from day one, 12 Gb SAS backplanes, or a 1U footprint should consider other platforms.
Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730 RAID
This bay count and controller combination dictates how many spinning disks or SATA SSDs you can install and which RAID levels are available. Confirm the bay count matches your capacity plan before ordering.

Questions about this item
How much power do the dual 495W supplies draw when the Xeon E5-2640 v4 runs at full load all day?
The server ships with two 495W power supplies for 12th Gen; actual draw depends on the workload you place on the 10-core 2.4GHz processor and 256GB DDR4.
Which drives and caddies must I supply to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?
The 8LFF chassis accepts 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives; no drives or caddies are included, so you provide both.
Will the PERC H730 RAID controller manage the older SATA drives I already own?
Yes, the H730 SAS controller supports SATA drives, so your existing 3.5-inch SATA disks can be used in the eight-bay backplane.
