Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre deployment. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H330 controller with two 300GB 15K SAS drives installed in 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. Dual 750W redundant power supplies support continuous operation.

Suitable for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtualisation clusters or database workloads that benefit from dual-socket Xeon performance and hardware RAID. The 16GB installed memory and two 300GB drives limit immediate capacity for memory-heavy applications or large datasets. Buyers who need more storage bays populated or higher memory from day one should look at a different configuration.

PERC H330 RAID controller with SAS drives

The storage subsystem centres on the PERC H330 12Gbps controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS and SATA drives. Two 300GB 15K SAS drives are included in the eight available 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. This controller choice determines which drive types and RAID levels are available without additional hardware.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 DIMM slots are free for future memory upgrades?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots in total, 12 per processor, so the remaining capacity depends on how the installed 16GB is populated across those slots.

Will the H330 RAID controller become a bottleneck with eight 3.5-inch SAS drives?

The H330 supports 12Gbps SAS and RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across up to eight hot-plug bays, matching the chassis limit.

How loud and hot does the dual 750W redundant power supply run under continuous load?

Dual 750W redundant supplies share the load, reducing per-unit stress and fan speed during all-day operation.
