DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 6-Core 512GB DDR4 H730 8x 300GB SAS

Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 server for virtualisation

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with six cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory is spread across 16 modules, leaving 8 of the 24 DIMM slots free for future expansion. It targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, VDI or high-performance computing workloads.

PERC H730 controller and quad-port networking

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network topology. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise, rails and bezel complete the package.

Sustained throughput for database and VDI nodes

With 12 total cores and 512 GB of ECC memory, the system maintains consistent performance under prolonged database or virtual desktop loads rather than short bursts. The 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and H730 battery-backed cache keep write latency predictable during extended RAID rebuilds or checkpoint operations. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1.5 TB if the workload grows beyond the installed 512 GB.
