Single-socket 2U server with H730 RAID

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 900 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the baseline configuration.

Entry virtualisation host or database node

This configuration suits teams that need a validated single-socket platform for virtualisation, light database workloads or legacy application migration where SAS reliability and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 are required. Buyers who need dual-processor compute density, 10 GbE networking included, or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 RAID controller provides 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and 1 GB of non-volatile cache, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight hot-plug bays. This controller choice determines the maximum array performance and data-protection features available without adding a second card.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W redundant supplies draw under full load?

The system ships with two 750W hot-swap power supplies in a redundant configuration; exact full-load draw depends on the workload and installed components.

Which cables and rack hardware must I already have to install this 2U server?

You will need a 2U rack opening, mounting rails, power cords for two supplies, and Ethernet cables for the four onboard 1GbE ports.

Can the existing H730 controller and SAS drives work with older 6Gbps SATA drives I might add?

Yes, the eight 2.5" hot-plug bays accept both SAS and SATA drives, and the H730 controller supports RAID across mixed drive types.
