Dual 14-core Xeon 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 delivers dual Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores each, 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. It ships with eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in a 2U rack chassis.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration targets midsize to large enterprise workloads such as virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms and high-performance computing data nodes. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 with eight 2.4 TB SAS drives

The integrated PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, managing the eight installed 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s. Storage capacity and RAID level determine whether this array meets the application's performance and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache; plan to replace the battery module every three to five years to maintain write-back cache protection during power loss.

What limits sustained throughput on the eight 2.4 TB SAS drives?

The 10K RPM SAS drives and 12 Gb/s controller set the sustained throughput ceiling; sequential speeds top out at the drive media rate rather than the controller link.

How loud and hot does the R730 run with both 750 W platinum PSUs loaded all day?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies and redundant fans keep the 2U chassis within Dell thermal specs; expect noticeable fan noise under full CPU and drive load.
