DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2683 v3 2.0GHz 14-Core 256GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD H730

Dual 14-Core Xeon Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure and database workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors provide 28 total cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo, while 256 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules supports dense virtualisation.

Sustained Load with Redundant Power and RAID

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies maintain operation during a single-unit failure, and the PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache backs RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for continuous data protection. Two 800 GB enterprise SATA SSDs deliver consistent read-write throughput for mixed workloads, while the quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for storage and migration traffic.

Verify Rack Space, Memory Growth and Drive Bays

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and includes ready rails and a front bezel; confirm your cabinet depth and airflow clearance before ordering. Twenty-four DIMM slots allow expansion to 1.5 TB, so check whether your workload will need additional registered ECC modules. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are present, with six bays free for future SAS or SATA drives beyond the two installed SSDs.
