DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz 14-core 768GB DDR4 H730 2x 400GB SSD

Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 14-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount server system fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 14 cores, giving 28 cores in total for heavily threaded workloads. The chassis includes redundant hot-swap 750 watt platinum power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management, and rails with a front bezel.

Suits virtualisation and database hosts needing

This configuration delivers 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, leaving room to expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes for the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Network connectivity comes from a quad-port daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who need more than two sockets or a newer instruction set should evaluate alternative platforms.

768 GB DDR4 in 24 slots decides capacity headroom

The installed 768 GB uses every available DIMM slot with 32 GB modules, so any further memory increase requires replacing existing sticks. This constraint determines whether the server can grow with your dataset or must be specified at the full 1.5 TB limit from the outset.
