DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3GHz 48GB DDR4 H330

2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with ten cores at 2.3 GHz. Forty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 memory are installed across the 24 DIMM slots, and the PERC H330 controller provides 12 Gbps RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 for up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a four-port 1 GbE daughter card complete the baseline configuration.

Suits Consolidation, Not High-Core Density

This platform suits organisations consolidating lighter workloads or running standard virtualisation where ten physical cores and 48 GB of RAM meet the requirement. The single-socket layout leaves the second processor socket empty, so buyers needing 20 cores or the full 1,536 GB memory ceiling must add a second CPU and populate additional DIMMs. Workloads that demand GPU acceleration or more than seven PCIe 3.0 slots will not fit this chassis.

Single E5-2650 v3 Processor Installed

The server ships with one E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor; the second socket is vacant and supports a matching CPU for up to twenty cores total. Memory speed operates up to 2,400 MT/s depending on the installed processor. The H330 controller occupies the dedicated PERC slot, leaving seven PCIe 3.0 slots available for additional I/O cards. No operating system is included.
