DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 16GB DDR4 2x 900GB SAS H730

2U rack server with single Xeon E5-2650 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system supplied with one ten-core Intel Xeon processor running at 2.3 GHz. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 900 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache are fitted. No operating system is included.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. Its 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps SAS interface accelerate parity calculations and rebuild times. A DVD-ROM drive is also installed. The iDRAC8 Express remote management module provides out-of-band access with Lifecycle Controller for deployment and monitoring.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2U compute

This configuration fits environments that require a single-socket server with hardware RAID and redundant power in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who need dual-processor performance, larger memory capacity beyond 16 GB, or 10 GbE networking from day one should evaluate other options. The installed drive count leaves six bays free for future expansion.
