Dual 18-Core Xeon Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots and includes a PERC H730 1 GB controller managing eight 400 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, or high-performance computing data nodes where high core counts and large memory capacity matter. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread frequencies above 3.6 GHz should look at alternative platforms.

512 GB DDR4 across 24 slots

The system installs 512 GB using 16 modules of 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory, leaving 8 of the 24 DIMM slots free for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum supported by the dual-socket Intel C610 chipset. This headroom lets organisations scale memory for growing virtualisation or in-memory database demands without replacing existing modules.

Questions about this item

Does the server include the 2.5-inch drive trays, rails and bezel, or must they be ordered separately?

The unit ships with 8 populated 2.5-inch bays, ready rails and a front bezel already included; nothing extra is needed for basic rack mounting or drive installation.

Should I choose the 512 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum?

512 GB is provided as 16 × 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules, leaving 8 free DIMM slots for future expansion up to the 1.5 TB limit.

What throughput can the PERC H730 controller deliver with the eight 400 GB SATA SSDs in a RAID array?

The H730 1 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA and RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, so the eight 400 GB drives can be combined for high IOPS and redundancy in a single array.
