Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs are pre-installed. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup manages storage.

Suits virtualisation, databases

This server suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or database clusters that need dual-socket compute and flash storage in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require more than 1.5 TB of memory or more than two processors should look elsewhere. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays limit internal capacity to the installed SSDs without external enclosures.

Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 with 28 total cores

Two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs provide 28 threads at a base frequency of 2.0 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz. The LGA 2011-3 sockets are fully populated, so no further processor upgrades are possible. This core count and clock profile determines whether the system matches the throughput needs of the target workload.

Questions about this item

Does the SATA 6 Gb/s interface limit the 800 GB SSDs to 6 Gb/s transfer rates?

Yes, the eight 800 GB SSDs connect through SATA 6 Gb/s ports on the PERC H730 controller, so each drive is capped at that interface speed.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U rack server require?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard rack cabinet.

How is the PERC H730 controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730 mini mono card slots into the dedicated internal storage connector; the step frequently missed is attaching the RAID battery to the controller before closing the chassis.
