Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, supporting up to 1.5 TB total capacity. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 1 GB controller with battery-backed cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This server suits organisations running virtualised environments, database clusters or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from 28 total cores and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU compute slots or storage bays beyond the eight 2.5 inch drive cage should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller handles all internal SAS and SATA drives with 12 Gb/s throughput and battery-protected write cache. It determines which RAID levels are available and whether the eight installed 300 GB drives can be configured for the required redundancy and performance profile.
