DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6GHz 10-core 768GB DDR4 8x 1.2TB SAS

Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 server for enterprise workloads

This 2U rack server ships with two 10-core Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. It includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 controller. The system targets midsize and large organisations running databases, virtualisation or high-performance computing nodes.

Sustained throughput with redundant power

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation under heavy load. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB battery-backed cache to protect write performance during extended bursts. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for consistent bandwidth across storage and compute traffic.

Verify rack depth and SAS backplane compatibility

The chassis uses 2.5-inch drive bays with a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane; confirm your rack depth accommodates the 2U form factor and that existing cabling matches the SAS interface. Memory expansion tops out at 1.5 TB using the remaining DDR4 slots, and the LGA 2011-3 sockets are already fully populated with the maximum two processors.
