Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF dual Xeon
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, but no drives are installed.
SAS interface and eight-bay limit
Storage connects through the PERC H730 controller using the SAS interface. The 8SFF chassis accepts a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives, so total raw capacity is bounded by the number and size of drives you add. The integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence gives full remote management without an extra card.
384GB DDR4 installed memory
The system arrives with 384GB of DDR4 memory installed across the available DIMM slots. The platform supports up to 768GB, so the current configuration leaves room for expansion if the workload demands more capacity. Buyers who need a higher starting memory figure or a different processor generation should look elsewhere.
