Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Two 600 GB 15K SAS drives and dual 750 W redundant power supplies are installed.

Suits single-socket deployments needing dense

This configuration fits workloads that run on one processor and benefit from up to eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays. It is not suited for buyers who require dual processors installed from the outset, more than eight drive bays, or a server that ships with an operating system included. Organisations needing 10 GbE networking as standard equipment should also evaluate other options.

Single Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core 1.9 GHz processor

The server arrives with one E5-2609 v3 CPU; a second socket is available for future expansion. Memory capacity reaches 1 536 GB when both sockets are populated, but the current single-processor layout limits usable DIMM slots to twelve. This processor choice determines the maximum memory speed of 2 400 MT/s and the total core count available today.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays for the two 600 GB SAS drives, or do I need to buy trays separately?

Trays are included with the two installed 600 GB 15K SAS drives, so no separate tray purchase is required for them.

Should I choose the single E5-2609v3 configuration or add a second processor for my workload?

The board supports up to two processors; a second E5-2609v3 adds six more cores and doubles the memory channels, which helps multi-threaded tasks.

What does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller actually deliver for the two 600 GB 15K drives in RAID 1?

The H330 manages RAID 1 at 12 Gbps SAS link speed, giving redundancy with the full 15K spindle performance for read-heavy workloads.
