Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 processor with ten cores at 2.3GHz. It arrives with 16GB of DDR4 memory, two 1TB 7.2K SATA drives, and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays complete the base configuration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits environments that need a compact 2U platform with hardware RAID across SATA or SAS drives and room to grow memory up to 24 DIMM slots. It does not suit buyers who want more storage than eight bays provide, who require a second processor installed from the start, who need storage interfaces beyond SATA or SAS, or who expect an operating system included in the box.

The specification that decides fit

The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight hot-plug bays, so the choice hinges on whether your workload needs those RAID levels on SATA or SAS media.
