Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with six cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total capacity. The chassis includes eight 2.5-inch drive trays for SATA or SAS devices and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from dual-socket compute density and large memory headroom. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management. Buyers who need pre-installed solid-state drives or a single-processor layout should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The included PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode with a battery-backed 1 GB cache. It manages the eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive bays directly. This specification determines whether the storage topology matches your redundancy and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 memory slots are free for future upgrades?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots total; 8 are populated with 16 GB modules leaving 16 slots available for expansion up to 1.5 TB.

Which component caps sustained throughput first, the PERC H730 controller or the drive bays?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA links, so the eight 2.5" drive bays and their disks become the practical throughput limit.

What is the typical power draw and heat output with both 750 W PSUs loaded under continuous operation?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies share the load efficiently; actual draw depends on CPU utilisation and disk count, but the platform is rated for redundant hot-swap operation at full capacity.
