Dell PowerEdge R730 8x3.5" Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller, supporting up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.
Ideal for dense virtualisation
This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint. The dual 18-core CPUs provide 36 threads for parallel workloads. Buyers who require more than 768GB of total memory or need drive interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.
Maximum memory capacity of 768GB DDR4
The system currently holds 512GB across its DIMM slots and can be expanded to 768GB using compatible DDR4 registered modules. This ceiling determines whether the server can accommodate future growth for memory-intensive applications such as in-memory databases or large virtual machine clusters.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the dual Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs and 512GB DDR4 are recognised after installation?
Check the BIOS POST screen and iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard; both will report two 18-core processors at 2.3GHz and 512GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory.
The listing says no drives are installed — what components ship in the box and what must I source separately?
The chassis arrives with dual 495W power supplies, PERC H730 RAID controller, Intel I350/X540 2x10GbE+2x1GbE network card and rail kit on request; you must purchase 3.5" SATA drives and any additional DDR4 modules up to 768GB.
Which drive-bay count matches a workload needing eight 3.5" SATA drives?
Choose the 8x3.5" LFF chassis; it provides exactly eight large-form-factor bays wired to the PERC H730 SAS controller.
