DELL PowerEdge R730 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2667 v4 256GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 processors running at 3.2 GHz. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for SATA storage. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence. It is sold new without any drives installed.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing high core

The twin eight-core Xeons and 256 GB of DDR4 give strong multi-threaded performance for virtualisation, database or compute workloads that benefit from high clock speeds. Buyers who want more storage capacity than eight 2.5-inch bays provide should look at a different chassis. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE networking meet basic console and data needs but are not intended for GPU-accelerated tasks.

768 GB maximum DDR4 capacity

The platform supports up to 768 GB of DDR4 memory across its DIMM slots, so the installed 256 GB can be expanded significantly if workloads grow. This ceiling is the key figure when planning memory-intensive applications such as in-memory databases or dense virtualisation. The PERC H730 controller manages SAS and SATA drives in the eight available bays.
