Server purpose

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Eight 300 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide high-throughput local storage. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management support continuous operation in dense data-centre racks.

Who it fits

This configuration suits teams that need a ready-to-deploy compute node with hot-plug SAS storage and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to the platform maximum of 1,536 GB. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, integrated 10 GbE ports, or a pre-installed operating system should evaluate alternative platforms. The DVD-ROM optical drive is included for legacy media tasks.

Deciding specification

The installed memory is 32 GB DDR4 with a platform ceiling of 1,536 GB across 24 slots. If the target workload fits within 32 GB today but may grow beyond that limit, the headroom is sufficient for most scale-up scenarios. If the application demands more than 1,536 GB of RAM, this server cannot meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How much memory can the R730 actually use with the installed E5-2630v3 CPUs?

The processors support up to 1536GB across 24 DDR4 slots, though the system ships with 32GB installed and memory speed depends on the CPU capability.

What RAID levels does the H330 controller allow on the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays?

The H330 12Gbps controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS drive bays.

How many PCIe 3.0 expansion slots are available beyond the dedicated PERC slot?

The chassis provides up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots in addition to the dedicated PERC slot for the H330 controller.
