Dual-socket 2U rack server with 768GB DDR4

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6GHz 10-core processors and 768GB of DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The system includes a Dell PERC H730 1GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, plus an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card providing two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

The dual 10-core CPUs and large memory capacity make this server appropriate for virtualisation clusters, database hosting and high-performance computing nodes. Buyers needing more than two processors cannot expand beyond the installed pair, and the 2.5-inch drive bays accept only SATA and SAS devices through the provided trays. Workloads requiring GPU acceleration or specialised add-in cards should verify PCIe slot availability separately.

24 DIMM slots supporting 1.5TB maximum memory

The platform provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 1.5TB, currently populated with 24x 32GB modules. This ceiling determines whether future memory growth fits within the existing chassis or requires a different server.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any 2.5-inch drives installed, or do I need to buy SAS or SATA drives separately?

The unit includes eight 2.5-inch trays but no hard disk drives or SSDs are installed; you must supply your own SAS or SATA drives.

The spec shows 768 GB DDR4 across 24 slots — does that mean every slot is already filled with 32 GB modules?

Yes, the 768 GB total is made up of twenty-four 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules, so all twenty-four slots are populated.

With the PERC H730 controller and eight drive bays, what RAID levels can I actually run on this machine?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, giving you a wide choice of redundancy and performance layouts across the eight bays.
