DELL PowerEdge R730 8LFF 2x Xeon E5-2699 v3 2.3GHz 768GB DDR4 No Drive

Dual 18-core Xeon server with 768 GB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives in an 8-bay 3.5-inch rack chassis populated with two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz. Each CPU delivers 18 cores and 45 MB cache, giving 36 cores total for heavily threaded workloads. Memory is maxed at 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage and the system includes iDRAC8 Enterprise for remote administration.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads.

This configuration targets virtualization hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The integrated graphics and lack of discrete GPU support make it a poor fit for visualisation, rendering or GPU-accelerated analytics. Buyers needing PCIe accelerator cards should verify slot availability before ordering.

8-bay 3.5-inch chassis limits internal storage

Eight 3.5-inch bays connect to the PERC H730 controller over SAS and SATA interfaces. No drives are installed, so capacity and RAID level are chosen at deployment. The bay count is fixed and cannot be expanded internally, so workloads requiring more than eight spindles need external enclosures or a different platform.
