Dual Xeon 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server powered by two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.40 GHz 6-core processors. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise and ready rails complete the package.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This server suits teams running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing jobs that benefit from twelve cores and large SAS capacity. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ daughter card provides flexible networking. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two sockets or solid-state primary storage should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage controller determines which RAID levels are available and whether the eight 2.5-inch bays can be fully utilised. The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so the single specification that decides fit is the controller model and its 1 GB cache.
