Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 900GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts

This server suits teams building virtualisation hosts, database nodes or backup targets that benefit from eight hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays and hardware RAID. Buyers who need higher core counts per CPU, faster memory speeds than the processor allows, or more than two processors should evaluate other platforms. The installed 16GB DDR4 and dual-socket limit also restrict memory-intensive applications.

Dual Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core 1.9GHz CPUs

The pair of six-core Xeon processors defines the compute ceiling for this unit. With a base frequency of 1.9GHz and no Turbo Boost, they deliver predictable multi-threaded throughput for standard server tasks. The chipset caps memory at 2400MT/s DDR4 across 24 slots, and the PERC H330 handles SAS or SATA drives only. This CPU choice fixes the performance envelope for the entire chassis.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.9 GHz clock speed mean for real-world throughput with two six-core Xeon E5-2609v3 CPUs installed?

The dual six-core processors run at a base 1.9 GHz, providing twelve threads total for parallel workloads such as virtualization hosts or database instances.

How does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller limit the 6 Gbps SAS drives in practice?

The drives operate at their native 6 Gbps SAS link speed; the controller’s 12 Gbps capability simply provides headroom for future faster drives.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The unit measures 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, weighing 58 lbs, and mounts in a standard 2U rack opening with included rails.
