PowerEdge R730 dual Xeon 14-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors at 2.0 GHz, each providing 14 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 8 modules and includes a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed in the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suited to database clusters and VDI hosts.

The system fits midsize enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or HPC data nodes. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers needing large-capacity solid-state storage or more than 24 DIMM slots should consider other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes with a battery-backed 1 GB cache. This determines the storage performance and redundancy options available for the two 300 GB SAS drives and any additional disks added to the eight drive bays.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-core processors, 256 GB DDR4 ECC memory, a PERC H730 controller with battery, two 300 GB 10K SAS drives, a quad-port X520/I350 network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum PSUs, ready rails and a front bezel. No extra components are included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this R730?

The unit already has 256 GB across eight 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules. The board supports up to 1.5 TB across 24 slots, so you can add more 32 GB DDR4 sticks later if the workload needs it.

What does the 2.0 GHz base clock mean once the server is running?

Each of the 28 cores runs at 2.0 GHz base and can turbo to 3.2 GHz under load, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, databases and HPC tasks.
