DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 6-Core 128GB DDR4 8x 1.2TB SAS H730

2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon and Hardware RAID

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.40 GHz with 6 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules and includes a Dell PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives populate the 2.5 inch drive bays. Redundant 750 W power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management, and rails are included.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes needing

This server fits midsize and large enterprise workloads such as virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce and high-performance computing data nodes. The dual-socket design with 24 DIMM slots supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory for memory-intensive applications. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or more than 24 memory slots should look elsewhere. The 8-bay 2.5 inch chassis limits internal drive count to eight SAS or SATA devices.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 controller provides hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 1 GB battery-backed cache enables write-back acceleration for the eight 1.2 TB SAS drives. The controller connects via 12 Gb/s SAS and also supports SATA drives. This single specification determines whether the server matches the required storage performance and redundancy profile.
