Dell PowerEdge R730 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo. It delivers 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and includes a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs and dual 750 W platinum power supplies come installed.

Ideal for virtualisation.

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or database clusters that benefit from 44 total cores and large memory capacity. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network card plus iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management simplify deployment. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two processors or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with 1 GB battery-backed cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The eight 2.5-inch bays accept SATA drives, and two 800 GB enterprise SSDs are already fitted. This controller choice determines which drive types and RAID levels are available.

Questions about this item

Will the 750 W power supplies need to be replaced during the server's life?

The system ships with two hot-swap 750 W platinum units; if one fails the other keeps the server running while you swap it.

What limits the E5-2699 v4 CPUs at their 3.6 GHz turbo under constant load?

With 22 cores per socket the thermal ceiling is reached first; sustained frequency will settle below the turbo maximum.

How loud and hot does the R730 get when both Xeons run 24/7?

Dual 750 W supplies and active cooling keep the 2U chassis within spec; fan speed rises with CPU load but stays at data-centre levels.
