PowerEdge R730 2U dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6 GHz 8-core processors and 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 populated slots. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing data nodes. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays will need a different platform.

Eight 2.5-inch bays with H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. It limits internal storage to SATA or SAS devices and caps the installed SSD count at two 800 GB drives unless additional drives are sourced separately.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement during the server's lifespan?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache module that typically requires replacement every few years to maintain write-back caching performance and data protection during power loss.

Which component reaches its thermal limit first when both Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors run at 3.4GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 8-core CPUs at 2.6GHz base with 3.4GHz turbo will hit their thermal design envelope before the 750W platinum power supplies or DDR4 memory subsystems under sustained full load.

How loud are the cooling fans when this 2U rack server operates 24/7 in a typical data centre rack?

Dual 750W platinum PSUs and high-core-count Xeons drive aggressive fan curves; expect elevated noise levels suitable for server rooms rather than office environments.
