DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14-core 512GB DDR4 H730 2× 800GB SSD

PowerEdge R730 dual Xeon 14-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with battery-backed cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the eight 2.5-inch drive bays, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. iDRAC8 Enterprise and a quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports handle remote management and connectivity.

Suited for virtualization and database nodes

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data warehousing or high-performance computing workloads that benefit from 28 total cores and a large memory footprint. The eight-bay chassis and H730 controller support RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for local storage resilience. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory populating 16 of the 24 available DIMM slots, leaving room to expand up to the 1.5 TB maximum. This memory type is mandatory for compatibility; other DDR generations will not fit or function. Confirm that your workload fits within the installed capacity or plan for additional modules before deployment.
