2U Rack Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors at 1.9GHz and 32GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays for SAS or SATA media.

Storage Limits with H330 Controller

The integrated Perc H330 RAID controller manages SAS and SATA drives across RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 levels. The system accepts a maximum of 64TB raw capacity within the eight 2.5-inch bays. The installed pair of 300GB 15K SAS drives provides a starting point for primary storage arrays.

Memory Ceiling Fixed at 32GB

This unit arrives with 32GB of DDR4 installed across 24 DIMM slots, yet the supplied processors cap usable memory at this same 32GB total. Buyers who need more memory capacity must select a different processor configuration, as the current CPUs prevent any expansion beyond the factory amount.

Questions about this item

Should I keep the 32 GB installed or expand to the 1536 GB maximum?

The system ships with 32 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots. You can add 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB modules up to 1536 GB total, but actual speed depends on the installed Xeon E5-2609v3 processors.

What does the 1.9 GHz clock speed mean for daily workloads?

Each of the two E5-2609v3 CPUs has six cores at 1.9 GHz, giving 12 cores total for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization or database work.

How does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller limit drive performance?

The H330 supports SAS and SATA drives at up to 12 Gbps and handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, so the controller caps throughput at that link speed for the installed 300 GB 15K SAS drives.
