DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 128GB DDR4 H730 10x 600GB SAS

Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes. It ships with dual processors, a hardware RAID controller and redundant power supplies in a ready-to-rack chassis. This system targets IT teams that need a validated, enterprise-grade platform for heavy multi-threaded workloads. Buyers who only need a single-socket tower or a workstation-class machine should look elsewhere.

Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 with 128 GB DDR4

Two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors run at 2.40 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo, each providing six cores for a total of twelve cores across the system. Memory is populated as eight 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules, filling eight of the twenty-four available slots and leaving room to grow toward the 1.5 TB maximum. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset define the upgrade ceiling, so any future CPU or memory additions must match this generation.

Eight-bay 2.5" chassis with PERC H730 and rails

The 2U chassis holds eight hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays, ten 600 GB 10K SAS disks and a Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. ReadyRails and a front bezel are included for standard rack installation. Installers must verify rack depth and cable routing for the dual 750 W platinum power supplies; the server weighs enough that two-person mounting is recommended and the SFP+ ports on the X520/I350 daughter card require compatible transceivers that are not included.
