DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3GHz 48GB 2x 900GB SAS H730

Built for dense 2U rack deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server configured with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 48GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a Perc H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache, two 900GB 10K SAS drives, and dual 750W redundant power supplies. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing SAS redundancy

This configuration fits workloads that require hardware RAID across SAS drives and redundant power in a compact 2U form factor. The single-socket layout and 48GB memory ceiling limit heavily threaded or memory-intensive applications. Buyers needing a second processor, GPU acceleration or more than 1536GB of memory should evaluate a different platform.

Single-socket design caps memory at 48GB installed

The system ships with one E5-2650 v3 processor, which activates twelve of the twenty-four DDR4 DIMM slots and limits installed memory to 48GB. Adding a second compatible processor would unlock the remaining slots and raise the maximum supported capacity to 1536GB.
