Dell R730 8-bay LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server populated with two Xeon E5-2623 v3 processors running at 3 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships with a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller and an Intel I350/X540 quad-port network card providing two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE links. The chassis offers eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and dual 495 W power supplies.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads on a budget

Organisations running virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or large VDI deployments will benefit from the 768 GB maximum memory capacity and dual-socket design. Buyers who need more than two processors, higher single-thread clock speeds or PCIe Gen4 expansion slots should evaluate newer platforms. The eight-bay LFF layout favours capacity over raw IOPS, so builders who want all-flash density should look elsewhere.

Max memory fixed at 768 GB DDR4

Installed memory already reaches the system limit of 768 GB, so no further DIMM upgrades are possible. This ceiling is the decisive factor when sizing the server for memory-bound applications.

Questions about this item

Does the 768 GB DDR4 memory fill every slot on the R730?

The system ships with 768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, which matches the maximum capacity listed for this model.

How loud or hot does the dual 495 W power supply setup get during continuous operation?

Two 495 W supplies provide redundancy; fan speed and thermal output scale with actual load rather than running at maximum constantly.

What drive caddies or backplane parts are needed to populate the eight 3.5 inch bays?

The chassis includes an 8-bay 3.5 inch backplane and PERC H730 controller; Dell 3.5 inch drive carriers are required for each SATA or SAS drive you install.
