Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 6 cores each. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives provide high-capacity internal storage in a hot-swap 2.5-inch chassis.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised environments, databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from dual-processor throughput and redundant power supplies. The quad-port network daughter card offers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require a single-socket platform or solid-state primary storage should evaluate other platforms.

24 DIMM slots with 1.5 TB maximum memory

The system board provides 24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory, allowing substantial future expansion beyond the factory-installed 64 GB. This ceiling determines whether the server can grow with memory-intensive applications over its service life.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drives and rails, or must I buy them separately?

The unit includes eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives, a front bezel and ready rails. No extra drive or rail purchase is required.

Should I pick the 64GB configuration or plan for the 1.5TB maximum?

The system arrives with 64GB DDR4 in four 16GB modules across 24 slots, leaving room to reach 1.5TB later.

What throughput can the H730 controller deliver with the installed SAS drives?

The PERC H730 runs at 12Gb/s and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so the eight 1.2TB 10K drives can sustain high sequential and random I/O.
