Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for data-centre deployment. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache provide the initial storage foundation. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and hot-plug drive bays support continuous operation.

Ideal for single-socket workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need a compact 2U chassis with eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60. Buyers who require dual-processor performance or more than 16 GB of memory from day one should look elsewhere. The installed CPU is a single six-core part; a second processor is not included. The maximum memory capacity listed is 16 GB for this specific build, though the platform supports additional DIMMs when a second CPU is fitted.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 controller offering 1 GB of cache and 12 Gbps SAS connectivity. It manages the two included 1 TB SATA drives and can address up to 64 TB of raw capacity across the eight drive bays. Supported RAID levels are 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This controller determines the storage performance and redundancy options available without an additional card.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R730 provide for sustained storage expansion?

The chassis holds up to 8 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives, so the first capacity limit you hit under sustained use is that eight-bay maximum.

What is the redundant power supply rating and how does it affect heat and power draw when the server runs continuously?

Two 750 W redundant supplies share the load; each is hot-swappable, so if one fails the other continues without interrupting operation or increasing thermal output.

Which network daughter card is included by default, and do I need to buy a separate card for 10 GbE connectivity?

The default daughter card provides four 1 GbE ports; 10 GbE requires an optional NDC upgrade card that must be purchased separately.
