PowerEdge R730 2U dual-socket server

This 2U rack system ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz, each providing six cores. A total of 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across sixteen 32 GB modules. The Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays are populated without drives.

Suits virtualisation hosts

The dual-socket layout and 24 DIMM slots allow growth to 1.5 TB, fitting workloads that benefit from large memory footprints. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports handles moderate east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than eight drive bays or a different memory generation should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The H730 provides hardware RAID across the eight SAS/SATA bays and includes a battery to protect write cache during power loss. This single component determines whether the storage topology meets your redundancy and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs and 512GB DDR4 are detected correctly after initial boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC8 Enterprise interface; both will show two 6-core processors at 2.4GHz with 3.2GHz turbo and 16 registered ECC DIMMs totalling 512GB at 2133MHz.

Which drives and caddies must I purchase separately to populate the 8-bay 2.5" chassis?

The server ships with 8 empty 2.5" SAS/SATA trays; you supply 2.5" SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs — no drives are included.

Which PERC H730 RAID level should I select for a balance of capacity and redundancy with eight drives?

RAID 6 uses two drives for parity, leaving six drives of usable space while tolerating two simultaneous drive failures.
