Purpose-built density

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4 GHz six-core processors and 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes.

Storage and network limits

The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through over 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA lanes, but the chassis provides only eight 2.5-inch bays and two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed. Networking is handled by an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so additional 10 Gb cabling or switches must be supplied separately.

Pre-deployment checks

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U unit with ready rails and that power distribution can feed two 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap supplies. Confirm the DDR4 registered ECC modules match the 24-slot, 1.5 TB maximum capacity if you plan to expand memory, and ensure the LGA 2011-3 socket limitation aligns with any future processor upgrade plans.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 768 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 768 GB across 24 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total, so you can expand with additional 32 GB DDR4 modules if workloads grow.

What does the 2.4 GHz Xeon speed deliver in a live workload?

Each E5-2620 v3 runs at 2.4 GHz base with 3.2 GHz turbo across six cores, giving strong multi-thread throughput for virtualization and database tasks.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit drive performance?

The H730 provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so SSD throughput is capped by the SATA 6 Gb/s link and the controller’s 1 GB cache.
