DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 8GB DDR4 2x 2TB SAS H330

2U Rack Server for Scale-Up Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9GHz with 8GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a PERC H330 RAID controller and two 2TB 7.2K SAS drives in hot-plug bays. The system targets buyers who need dense internal storage and redundant power in a standard rack footprint.

8GB DDR4 Baseline with 24 DIMM Slots

Installed memory sits at 8GB across 24 DDR4 slots, leaving significant headroom for expansion up to the platform maximum. The dual 2TB SAS drives provide 4TB of redundant or striped capacity via RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60, while the eight 3.5-inch bays support up to 64TB total raw storage. The single CPU limits memory channels to twelve slots until a second processor is added.

Redundant Power and PCIe 3.0 Expansion

Dual 750W hot-swap supplies deliver redundancy without external dependencies. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot accommodate additional controllers, networking or acceleration cards. The iDRAC8 remote management module and four 1GbE ports are integrated, while the Matrox G200eR2 handles basic video output. Buyers needing 10GbE or fibre-channel connectivity must add appropriate daughter cards.
