DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14-Core 512GB DDR4 8x 400GB SSD H730

Dual 14-Core Xeon Server for Enterprise Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It targets midsize and large organisations running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated AI training or single-threaded application speed should look elsewhere.

512GB DDR4 Registered ECC Across 24 Slots

The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory configured as 16 modules of 32 GB, leaving eight slots free for expansion up to the platform maximum of 1.5 TB. This capacity supports large virtualisation clusters and in-memory databases. Workloads that require more than 1.5 TB of memory per node cannot be accommodated.

3.2 TB Raw Flash on PERC H730 RAID

Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs provide 3.2 TB of raw flash storage managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The array handles mixed read-write workloads and virtual machine storage comfortably. Applications needing sustained write throughput beyond what SATA SSDs deliver or capacity beyond 3.2 TB will require additional drive bays or external storage.
