Dual 14-Core Xeon 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system powered by two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a Dell PERC H730 1 GB storage controller. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs fill the front 2.5-inch drive bays, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from 28 total cores and a large SATA flash array. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for mixed traffic. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

800 GB SATA SSD Capacity

The eight installed 800 GB SATA SSDs define the usable flash capacity and the storage controller's RAID domain, which supports levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Confirm that the SATA interface and total raw capacity meet the application's throughput and retention requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2-processor, 128GB configuration or look for a different capacity?

This unit ships with two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules. The board supports up to 1.5 TB total using 24 slots, so the current 128 GB leaves room to expand later.

What does the 3.2 GHz turbo frequency mean for actual workloads?

Each of the 28 cores can boost from 2.0 GHz to 3.2 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving short bursts of higher single-thread speed for database queries or virtualization tasks while the base clock sustains steady multi-thread throughput.

How does the PERC H730 controller and SATA SSDs limit real-world storage speed?

The PERC H730 connects at 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA, but the eight installed 800 GB SSDs use the SATA 6 Gb/s interface, so sequential reads and writes will cap at the SATA link rather than the controller's maximum.
