Capacity and compute profile

This new Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.60 GHz, 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and eight 2.4 TB SAS hard drives. It targets midsize and large enterprises running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

The dual-socket design, 24 memory slots and quad-port 1 GbE plus dual 10 Gb SFP+ networking fit environments that need balanced CPU, memory and storage capacity in a single chassis. Buyers who require solid-state latency or GPU-accelerated compute density should evaluate other platforms. The fixed 2U form factor also rules out deployments limited to 1U height.

Storage controller and drive interface

The PERC H730 1 GB mini controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache for the eight installed 10 K RPM drives. This specification determines whether the array performance and RAID flexibility match the intended workload.
