Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by an H330 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD ROM complete the configuration.

Suits dense virtualisation and database workloads

The 24 DIMM slots and support for up to 1 536 GB of DDR4 make this chassis a good fit for memory-hungry applications, while the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays provide fast local storage. Organisations needing more than two processors, GPU acceleration or 10 GbE networking as standard should evaluate other platforms.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS front end decides fit

The server offers exactly eight front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive bays backed by the H330 controller; if your deployment requires more front bays or a different drive interface, this unit will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730 get when both 750W supplies run 24/7?

Dual 750W redundant supplies share the load, so each runs at lower utilisation and the chassis fans can stay at modest speeds; the 2U form factor still moves plenty of air through the 2.5-inch drive bays.

What must I already have to install the eight 300GB SAS drives and H330 controller?

The drives ship with trays that slide straight into the eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays, and the H330 occupies the dedicated PERC slot, so no extra cabling or brackets are required.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 cards fit the seven expansion slots alongside the PERC card?

The R730 provides up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus the dedicated PERC slot, so legacy PCIe 3.0 add-in cards install without adapter changes.
