Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores. It includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730 controller. The chassis provides redundant 750 W power supplies and an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

The system suits teams running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 24 total cores and a large DDR4 footprint. The eight drive bays and H730 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for local redundancy. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, storage interfaces other than SATA or SAS, or memory beyond 1.5 TB should consider a different platform.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 768 GB (24 × 32 GB) of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory occupies every available slot and determines immediate capacity for virtual machines or in-memory databases. Expansion is possible up to 1.5 TB using the remaining supported configurations. Confirm that your workload fits within this memory ceiling before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 768 GB configuration or plan for the 1.5 TB maximum?

The server ships with 768 GB across 24 slots of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC; the chipset supports up to 1.5 TB, so any upgrade means replacing modules.

What does the 2.5 GHz base clock with 3.3 GHz turbo mean for my workloads?

Two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors give 24 cores at 2.5 GHz base, boosting to 3.3 GHz under load for burst-heavy tasks.

Does the PERC H730 controller limit the 800 GB SSDs to SATA speeds?

The H730 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with 1 GB cache; the installed drives are SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs, so the interface caps throughput at the SATA link rate.
