Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

This 2U rack server delivers dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.40 GHz with 6 cores each. It comes equipped with 512GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The system includes a PERC H730 controller managing eight 400GB SATA SSDs in hot-swap bays. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

The twin 6-core CPUs and large memory pool handle virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and data-warehouse tasks well. The quad-port network card adds two 10Gb SFP+ and two 1GbE links. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should consider other platforms. The 24 DIMM slots allow growth to 1.5TB.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 1GB mini controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It connects to the eight 2.5-inch SATA SSDs through a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane. A battery-backed cache protects data during power loss. This controller defines the storage performance and redundancy ceiling.

Questions about this item

What does the 512 GB DDR4 memory allow in a production workload?

The 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory, installed as sixteen 32 GB modules, supports large virtual-machine counts, in-memory databases and heavy virtualization workloads.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit drive performance?

The H730 1 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through, so the eight 400 GB SATA SSDs are capped at SATA 6 Gb/s speeds.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the chassis need?

The 2U rack chassis includes Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard four-post rack.
