2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors at 1.9 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Two 300 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide the storage foundation.

Suits High-Density Compute Needs

Organisations consolidating multiple workloads onto fewer physical hosts will value the 24 memory slots and eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays with redundant 750 W power. The installed memory already reaches the processor-limited maximum of 128 GB, so buyers who need more RAM per socket should look elsewhere. Teams requiring 10 GbE networking must add an optional NDC daughter card.

Memory Capacity Locked at 128 GB

The E5-2609 v3 processors restrict total DDR4 capacity to 128 GB despite the chassis supporting 1536 GB with higher-end CPUs. This ceiling is the single specification that determines whether the server fits your workload; if your applications demand more memory per host, a different processor configuration is required.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 128GB DDR4 configuration or look for a larger memory kit?

The server arrives with 128GB DDR4 installed across 24 slots; the platform maximum is 1536GB so you can add more later if workloads grow.

What does the 1.9GHz clock on the dual E5-2609 v3 CPUs deliver in daily use?

Two six-core Xeon processors at 1.9GHz provide 12 threads total, suited for virtualization hosts, database servers or multi-user applications that benefit from core count over single-thread speed.

How does the H330 12Gbps SAS controller affect the 300GB 15K drives I receive?

The PERC H330 supports 12Gbps SAS links and RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60; the supplied 300GB 15K drives run at 6Gbps so the controller will not bottleneck their throughput.
