Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for virtualization, database and general compute workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Fit and alternatives

This configuration suits teams that need dense 2U density, redundant power and up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays for SAS or SATA media. Buyers who need a second processor installed, more than eight drive bays, GPU compute density or pre-loaded operating system should consider other platforms.

Deciding specification

The installed memory reaches the 128 GB maximum supported with one processor, so any workload requiring more capacity will need the second CPU socket populated before additional DIMMs can be used.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The server ships with one E5-2650 v3 processor, 128 GB DDR4 in 24 slots, two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives with trays, an H330 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant supplies, a DVD drive and a four-port 1 GbE daughter card. A second processor, extra drives, OS licence and any 10 GbE upgrade are not included.

Which drive-bay count and RAID level should I choose?

The chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays; the H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, so select a level that matches your capacity and redundancy needs.

What does the 2.3 GHz ten-core CPU deliver in practice?

The single E5-2650 v3 provides ten cores at 2.3 GHz with 20 threads via Hyper-Threading, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation or database workloads within the 128 GB memory ceiling.
