Server Overview

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with ten cores running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD ROM drive complete the baseline configuration.

Target Audience

This system suits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch hot-plug storage capacity in a compact rack footprint. The eight drive bays and H330 controller handle large SAS or SATA arrays for backup, archiving or file serving. Buyers who require more than one CPU, more than 48 GB of RAM, or a dedicated GPU for compute workloads should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding Specification

The eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays paired with the H330 controller define the storage ceiling at 64 TB using SAS or SATA drives. This capacity and bay count determine whether the chassis meets the dataset size and drive-type requirements of the intended deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2650 v3 or add a second CPU?

One E5-2650 v3 ten-core 2.3 GHz processor is installed; a second socket is empty and supports another identical CPU for up to 20 cores total.

What does the 48 GB DDR4 actually deliver in this chassis?

48 GB DDR4 is installed across 24 DIMM slots; with one CPU only 12 slots are active, so the memory runs at up to 2400 MT/s on the populated channels.

How does the H330 controller limit drive speed?

The H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supports SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gbps per port across the 8 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays.
