DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz 14-Core 128GB DDR4 H730 2x 300GB SAS

Dual 14-Core Xeon Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 14 cores, delivering 28 threads total for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across eight 16 GB modules.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from dual-socket density and large memory capacity. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache battery. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots or a higher core count per socket should evaluate alternative platforms.

1.5 TB Maximum Memory Capacity

The Intel C610 chipset supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across 24 slots, so the installed 128 GB leaves substantial headroom for future expansion. Eight-bay 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA media behind the H730 controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the baseline specification.
