Dell PowerEdge R730 dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 six‑core processors run at 2.40 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes

The eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and PERC H730 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, giving high‑capacity redundant storage for virtual desktop infrastructure or data‑warehouse tasks. Buyers who need flash‑only storage or more than two processor sockets should consider other platforms.

128 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The server ships with 128 GB in eight 16 GB modules, leaving 16 slots free to reach the 1.5 TB maximum. This memory capacity determines how many virtual machines or database buffers can run simultaneously.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all eight drive bays populated, or do I need to buy drives separately?

All eight 2.5-inch bays are filled with 2.4TB 10K SAS drives, so no additional drives are required for a full configuration.

Should I choose the H730 controller with its 1 GB cache battery or a different RAID card for this 8-drive array?

The installed PERC H730 includes a 1 GB battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, covering every standard redundancy level for the eight drives.

What throughput can the dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports on the X520/I350 card actually deliver to the SAS drives?

The 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and 10 GbE uplinks combine to move data at line rate across the eight 10K drives, limited only by the RAID level chosen.
