Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz with 64 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a Dell Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives in hot-plug 2.5-inch bays. Redundant 750 W power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the base configuration. No operating system is included.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits organisations that need a compact 2U platform with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 and room for up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. It also fits workloads that can use the four onboard 1 GbE ports and up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot. Buyers who need 10 GbE networking out of the box, more than two 300 GB drives pre-installed, or a second processor installed should consider other configurations.

The specification that decides fit

The installed memory is fixed at 64 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots with a maximum rated capacity of 64 GB for this configuration, so any deployment requiring more memory at purchase cannot use this unit as-is.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with drive trays for the 2.5" bays or do I need to buy them separately?

The two 300GB SAS drives ship with their trays; the remaining six 2.5" hot-plug bays are empty and trays are not included.

Should I pick the single E5-2630 v3 or add a second processor for my workload?

The board supports two CPUs; adding a second E5-2630 v3 doubles cores to 16 and unlocks the other 12 DIMM slots for up to 1536GB total memory.

What does the H730 1GB 12Gbps RAID controller mean for real-world disk performance?

It provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with 1GB cache, letting the two 15K SAS drives deliver consistent throughput and redundancy.
