Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server designed for virtualisation and database workloads in data-centre environments. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots.

Suits consolidation, not high-frequency bursts

This server fits teams consolidating multiple VMs or running memory-heavy applications that benefit from 32 logical threads and redundant 750 W power supplies. Buyers who need higher single-thread clock speeds or GPU-accelerated compute should look at a different platform.

Storage capacity ceiling is 64 TB

The integrated PERC H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA bays, capping raw capacity at 64 TB. Confirm that limit matches your dataset growth plan before ordering.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory modules do I already need to populate the 24 DIMM slots?

The server has 24 DIMM slots, 12 per processor, supporting DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s in capacities of 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB.

Can I keep using my 3.5" SAS or SATA drives with the H330 controller?

Yes, the 8 hot-plug 3.5" bays accept SAS or SATA drives and the H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is active after power-on?

Connect to the iDRAC8 Express default IP, log in and verify the Lifecycle Controller reports both 2.4GHz Xeon E5-2630v3 CPUs, 16GB DDR4 and the dual 750W power supplies as healthy.
