Purpose-built 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots, a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache, and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives in hot-plug 2.5-inch bays. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Ideal for density-focused workloads

This configuration suits organisations needing a compact, rack-mountable server for virtualisation, database or file-serving tasks that benefit from 15K SAS spindles and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Buyers who require dual-processor compute, more than eight drive bays, 10 GbE networking or GPU-ready PCIe slots should evaluate alternative platforms.

Single-socket ceiling

Only one Xeon E5-2609v3 is installed and the memory controller limits total system memory to 64 GB, so the server cannot scale beyond its shipped capacity without a processor upgrade.
