Purpose-built rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, 16GB of DDR4 memory and two 300GB 15K SAS drives on a PERC H330 controller. It supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 and includes redundant 750W power supplies for continuous operation.

Fit and limits

This server suits workloads that need up to 24 DIMM slots and eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays with SAS or SATA drives. Buyers who need more than 16GB of installed memory or who require 10GbE networking must select optional daughter cards.

Deciding specification

The installed memory is capped at 16GB with DDR4 modules running up to 2400MT/s depending on the processor capability. This ceiling determines whether the platform can hold the dataset you plan to run.

Questions about this item

How much memory can I add later using the 24 DDR4 DIMM slots?

The server supports up to 1536 GB of DDR4 across 24 slots, with each processor controlling 12 slots and memory speed reaching 2400 MT/s depending on the installed Xeon capability.

Which component will reach its limit first when all eight 2.5-inch drive bays are fully populated under sustained write workloads?

The H330 RAID controller caps throughput at 12 Gbps, so the controller bus saturates before the individual 6 Gbps SAS drives or the PCIe 3.0 slot bandwidth.

What noise and heat should I expect from the dual 750 W redundant power supplies running continuously in a 2U rack?

Two 750 W hot-swap supplies share the load, reducing per-unit strain and fan speed; the 2U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow to exhaust heat, keeping acoustic output typical for rackmount servers.
