Dell PowerEdge R730 2U dual-socket server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots and uses the Intel C610 chipset on an LGA 2011-3 platform. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in the front 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for virtualisation hosts.

The 44 combined cores and large memory capacity fit multi-tenant workloads, while the H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two processor sockets or flash-optimised drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 2400 MHz ECC memory installed

Sixteen 32 GB modules populate 16 of the 24 available DIMM slots, leaving room to reach the 1.5 TB maximum. The registered ECC design protects data integrity for mission-critical applications. Verify that your operating system and workload can address this capacity before deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.4 TB SAS drives or add solid-state storage for faster database work?

This server ships with eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives on the H730 controller; the 2.5-inch bays accept SAS or SATA SSDs if you need lower latency.

What does the 3.6 GHz turbo speed mean when all 44 cores are busy?

With two 22-core Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs at 2.2 GHz base, sustained all-core turbo will sit below the single-core 3.6 GHz peak depending on thermal headroom.

Does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit drive throughput compared to newer interfaces?

The PERC H730 runs at 12 Gb/s SAS, so each 10K drive can saturate its link; the backplane and controller share that bandwidth across the eight bays.
