Dual Xeon E5-2699 v3 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors. Each CPU delivers 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. It targets enterprises running virtualisation, databases or high-performance computing workloads.

12 Gb/s SAS controller with eight SATA SSDs

Storage is handled by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs occupy the 2.5-inch drive bays. The SAS interface runs at 12 Gb/s while the installed drives use the 6 Gb/s SATA link speed.

Redundant 750 W power supplies

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the dual 18-core 2.3GHz Xeon E5-2699 v3 configuration or a different CPU option?

This unit comes with two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each 18 cores at 2.3GHz with 3.6GHz turbo, filling both sockets; no other CPU option is offered for this listing.

What does 256GB DDR4 2133MHz mean for actual database or virtualization performance?

256GB of registered ECC DDR4 at 2133MHz provides high-capacity, error-corrected memory for large VM counts or in-memory databases, with 24 total slots allowing expansion to 1.5TB.

How does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit SSD throughput in practice?

The H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through at 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA, so the eight 800GB SATA SSDs run at SATA 6Gb/s speeds.
