Dell PowerEdge R730 rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for businesses that need reliable compute density in a standard cabinet. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. The system includes a PERC H330 RAID controller and two 750 W redundant power supplies for continuous operation.

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays

This chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, delivering a maximum raw capacity of 64 TB. The H330 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 without a separate cache module. No drives or trays are included, so buyers must supply their own storage media. The DVD-ROM drive is present for legacy media access.

Dual 750 W redundant power supplies

Redundant 750 W units share the load and allow hot-swap replacement without downtime. The Matrox G200 graphics subsystem draws minimal power and produces negligible heat. Acoustic output is typical for a 2U rackmount server operating in a cooled data-centre aisle. Power draw scales with the number of installed drives and PCIe cards.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.9 GHz clock on the two Xeon E5-2609 v3 chips mean for real workloads?

Each processor runs six cores at 1.9 GHz, giving twelve cores total for parallel tasks such as virtualization or database serving.

How does the H330 controller's 12 Gbps SAS link limit drive performance?

The controller supports SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gbps and handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, 60, so drive throughput caps at the controller's 12 Gbps interface.

What rack space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis need?

The server occupies 2U of rack height, measures 26.8 x 17.44 x 3.4 inches, weighs 58 lbs, and requires a separate rail kit for installation.
