DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 512GB DDR4 8× 400GB SSD H730

2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads such as data warehousing, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing nodes. It ships new with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores and 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules, a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup, and eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives.

Suited for Dense Virtualisation and Database Nodes

Organisations running heavily virtualised environments, large databases or compute-intensive applications will benefit from the dual-socket configuration, high memory capacity and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies. The integrated quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than 1.5 TB of memory or drive interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative platforms.

24 DIMM Slots Supporting Up to 1.5 TB DDR4

The motherboard provides twenty-four DDR4 memory slots with a maximum supported capacity of 1.5 TB, allowing substantial expansion beyond the factory-installed 512 GB. All slots accept registered ECC DDR4 modules at 2133 MHz. This ceiling determines whether the platform can scale to future memory-heavy workloads without a hardware change.
