Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives are installed behind the eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays, managed by a PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for single-socket workloads needing dense

The chassis provides up to eight hot-plug bays and 24 DIMM slots, but only one processor is populated and maximum installed memory is listed as 8 GB. Buyers who need dual-processor performance, higher stock RAM, or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms. The included H330 controller handles SATA and SAS drives only.

H330 RAID controller with six RAID levels

The PERC H330 12 Gbps controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 2.5-inch SATA or SAS bays. This determines how many drives can be grouped for redundancy or capacity and whether the array can survive multiple simultaneous drive failures.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does this R730 run with dual 750W supplies and a ten-core 2.3 GHz Xeon under sustained load?

The server uses redundant hot-swap 750W power supplies and a single E5-2650 v3 processor; fan speed scales with inlet temperature and workload, so noise and heat output rise with CPU utilisation and drive count.

What must I already own to get this server operational — rails, cabling, operating system, hypervisor licence?

The unit includes drive trays, a DVD drive and an iDRAC8 Express licence; you will need rack rails, power cables, an OS or hypervisor, and any additional DDR4 memory or drives you plan to install.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 cards and 1 GbE switches work with the onboard four-port daughter card and seven PCIe 3.0 slots?

The system provides four 1 GbE ports on the NDC and up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot, so current-generation PCIe 3.0 adapters and 1 GbE networking are directly compatible.
