DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 32 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots supports large memory footprints.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Organisations running multi-threaded applications, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes benefit from the dual-socket design and high core count. The PERC H730 controller provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Buyers needing more than 1.5 TB of RAM or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider other platforms.

Deciding specification: 768 GB DDR4 installed

The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory populated in all 24 DIMM slots. This leaves no free slots for expansion without removing existing modules. Maximum supported capacity is 1.5 TB, so any growth requires replacing the 32 GB modules with larger ones.
