Built for Memory-Heavy Workloads

This Dell PowerEdge R730 rack server arrives with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a single Xeon E5-2697 v3 processor running at 2.6 GHz. It targets IT teams that need large in-memory capacity for virtualisation, databases or analytics without populating the second CPU socket.

384 GB DDR4 ECC Registered

The installed 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is the decisive specification; it occupies half the 768 GB maximum and leaves 14 DIMM slots free for future expansion. Buyers who need more than 768 GB of total memory must choose a different platform.

8-Bay 3.5" Chassis with PERC H730

The 8 LFF drive bays accept 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives and connect to the PERC H730 RAID controller for hardware RAID. Dual 495 W supplies and an iDRAC8 Enterprise licence are included, while the second CPU socket and additional memory slots remain open for later growth.

Questions about this item

How does the single 14-core Xeon running at 2.6 GHz perform once installed?

The E5-2697 v3 delivers 14 cores at 2.6 GHz with 35 MB cache, providing strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization or database workloads.

What throughput ceiling does the PERC H730 SAS controller impose on the eight 3.5-inch drive bays?

The H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, so each bay is limited by the SATA 6 Gb/s link when using SATA drives.

How deep is the chassis and what clearance should I allow for cabling?

The unit measures 36 inches deep, so plan for at least several extra inches at the rear for power and network cables.
