Dual Xeon 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives populate the 2.5-inch bays, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 20 total cores and a large memory footprint. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory or more than two processors should consider a larger platform.

1.5 TB maximum DDR4 capacity

The system board provides 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory, so the installed 512 GB can be expanded significantly without replacing the server. This ceiling determines whether the R730 can grow with your workload or if a higher-capacity chassis is required.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2.6 GHz 10-core Xeon or a faster clock option?

The system ships with two Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs at 2.6 GHz base and 3.3 GHz turbo; the socket supports a maximum of two processors, so this is the only CPU configuration available.

What does 512 GB DDR4 mean for actual workloads?

You receive 512 GB as sixteen 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules occupying 16 of the 24 slots, leaving room to expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum if applications need more capacity.

How does the PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit drive performance?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache; the eight 300 GB 10 K SAS drives connect at 12 Gb/s, so the controller and backplane set the practical throughput ceiling.
