DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6GHz 10 Core 768GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD

Dual-socket 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 delivers two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each with 10 cores running at 2.6 GHz and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management and ready rails are included for immediate rack deployment.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters

The 24 DIMM slots support up to 1.5 TB of DDR4, making this server a fit for memory-intensive hypervisors, VDI farms and large in-memory databases. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays and the H730 controller enable RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed 800 GB SATA SSDs or additional drives. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles heavy east-west traffic without extra cards.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The platform uses DDR4 RDIMMs only; other DDR generations are physically and electrically incompatible. Buyers who need a different memory type or a higher factory-installed capacity must select another configuration. The two-socket limit and LGA 2011-3 socket also mean CPU upgrades are restricted to the same processor family.
